I watched this little one out of the kitchen window,, She /he? was really struggling



But It made it to the Y in the tree near the feeder



Poor thing over shot it's landing,, realizing it had to get lower to eat

That LOOKS like an adult female Cardinal that hasn't molted yet. Baby Cardinals have dark gray or black bills.

It's very small Thorney less then half the size of a cardinal, unless that's a miniature adult,,

That's one pitiful looking female cardinal. The ones I see are usually so pretty and a lot bigger. Wonder why an adult cardinal would be struggling in that first picture. I sure would have thought baby too.

At any rate great pictures Diane.

What a darling!!!!

I belieeve she might be Mini-Tweet.
