Charlie

During the spring, summer, and fall we always had a pair of cardinals that stayed around our front porch. This was probably because they had a nest in the bush in front of our porch. As most birds fly south for the winter, at least one of the cardinals stayed around, maybe both I'm not talented enough to tell if it is the same Cardinal or not...But, the one pictured above is who I call Charlie, Charlie the Cardinal! One day I kept hearing this pecking sound, I just thought it was snow melting or that it was raining....But, it was Charlie in our window pecking at the glass. I do not know if this is normal of Cardinals, but he is always there, maybe he's trying to tell me it's about time I clean the window...Hum, it's not time for Spring cleaning yet, so that can wait.  At least twice a day the last couple of months he has been there and finally I took a picture, it is not the best picture but you get the drift. Bryan thinks I'm crazy for blogging about Charlie, but who knew Cardinals would stay around all winter and would hang out on our window ledge!!
