Celeryfarm.net: Courtship behavior in Cardinals

By Jim Wright, Celeryfarm.net: "Suddenly, down flew a male Northern Cardinal, who pecked a seed from the ground and fed it to the drabber, slightly smaller bird. He repeated the scene a few times before they both flew off. I really didn't pay attention to the juvenile and just assumed it must be a Cardinal. Wrong."
