While the neighborhood cardinals have been around all winter, we seem to have noticed their sweet song more in the past couple of weeks. They sing and we stop, eyes turned to the tree tops and roof tops to try to spot that splash of red. <\/p>\n

When we saw this blog post from The Cornell Lab of Ornithology<\/a>,<\/p>\n

\n\"Round<\/a><\/p>\n

Why So Red, Mr. Cardinal? NestWatch Explains<\/a>, we had to share. We learned so many new things about our neighbors the Northern Cardinals. <\/p>\n

We turn to Cornell's All about Birds<\/a> site anytime we want to know more about any bird. Here's their entry on the Northen Cardinal<\/a> complete with sound, photos, video, and what you can do to join in the research on this beautiful additon to our lives. <\/p>\n

Don't miss a Bird photo opportunity. This Canon PowerShot G15 camera<\/a>\"\"
\nwill give you what you need to take stills and video for your life list. Canon's G series is our all-time favorite for everyday cameras. We own the G10 and G11. They're a little bigger than the compacts most people use, but let you shoot with automatic settings or easy-to-use manual controls that please the many pros who use them as second cameras. And, if you're ready to turn pro, follow our lead. Ed shoots with the Nikon D7000 Digital SLR<\/a>\"\" too. We also just added a Nikon D600<\/a>
\nto our camera fleet and are extremely happy with the performance it has delivered.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
