Did you see that Marge!
Uploaded: February 09, 2010
It has been cold and rainy for days and these two cardinals want their chance to eat. They think its bad enough that Cow birds and Starlings come in by the dozens and chase them away, now they are keeping their eye on the Hawk that has just landed by the Koi pond 20 ft from them.

Such a cute pair! Beautiful colors and clarity! #8369513Deborah J. Bibbins February 09, 2010
Thank you all so much for your wonderful comments. The hawks don't usually pay much attention to the birds (their interested in the fish), but the birds always pay close attention to the hawks. #8369518Rony Sagy February 09, 2010
