BABY CARDINAL FLEDGE

This little female cardinal is brand new. She just recently fluttered down from her nest in the tree above the P2 buffet. She is only 2/3 the size of an adult, note her beautiful head plumage, so perfect and erect. She has a very perky erect stance, very lit up and taking in her new world.

Flying is still complicated so she has spent a lot of time on the ground today, hopping around eating seeds and investigating things. Such a pretty little innocent new creature, up against the world.
