The cardinals are regular year-round visitors to our garden but, unlike the sparrows who arrive in hordes, they appear mostly one pair at a time.
They are cautious birds and prefer not to get involved in any kind of brawl with other visitors to the feeders, usually waiting until the coast is clear to come down.
The cardinal pair may stay together for years, although I doubt they can match the milestone that my husband and I reached yesterday, celebrating our 50th wedding anniversary.

The Nature of Things 
So pretty. We don’t have cardinals here and only have blue jays in the foothills and mountains and seem fairly aggressive toward other birds. They seem like such bullies.
The cardinals add a welcome splash of color in the garden, especially during the winter months.
Love cardinals! Have seen a lot more sparrows lately.
The cardinals are easy to spot, especially in the winter. The dozens of sparrows that visit the garden like to hide in the autumn clematis as they blend in with all the brown leaves.
Gorgeous photos 😀
Thank you, Cee!
awe monogamous and residential…very beautiful!!)
Thank you!
50 years! Congratulations!

Happy Anniversary, Sue and Mac! ❤
Many thanks, Scilla!

Thank you, Nadine!

Thank you, Michael!
You’re welcome Sue. My pleasure.
That is a major milestone Sue, 50 years!! Congratulations.
Thank you, Deb!
Little lovely beauties.
And all the best for your great anniversary! 👍👏
Thank you!
Congratulations on those 50 years, Sue!! I have to reach 80 before we hit 50. 🙂 I love seeing the cardinals because I rarely see them here. We always saw them in Illinois and Ohio and as you say, their color is especially welcome in winter. Are you getting snow? My friend in Naperville just sent a video of it snowing there.
Thanks, Janet! Yes, it’s snowing quite a bit here. In fact, we had to cancel our plans to celebrate with the family tomorrow because of dodgy driving conditions, but hope to all get together in March when my cousin comes over from England for a visit.
These are beautiful captures of these beautiful cardinals.
Thank you!
50 Years! Wow.. that’s awesome. Congrats.
Thank you, Liz!
Congratulations on reaching such a significant anniversary. The cardinals add a touch of distinction to your bird feeder.
Many thanks, Tom. It’s always a pleasure to see the cardinals in the garden.
Beautiful photos and congratulations on your milestone anniversary! Wishing you many more happy, healthy years.
Thank you so much, Mary!
These are beautiful shots of your gorgeous cardinals.
Wow! 50 years together. Good for you. Congratulations. We hit 50 years in 2019!

Thank you, Dwight. Belated congratulations to you, too. I’m guessing that once our generation is gone, there won’t be too many marriages that last this long.
Very few these days it seem.
Happy Anniversary! 🎉 And your cardinal photos are beautiful. 🦢
Many thanks, Lynette!
Lovely photos and many congratulations, that is an awesome record to achieve. (We’re way behind you two, at 39 this year!)
Thank you, Denzil! Those years will fly round all too quickly.
I wonder if you’re like me. unable to comprehend the time that has passed. In a few months time we will also reach the big 50!
I agree! The time has just flown by. Congratulations in advance of your big 50.
Congratulations on your 50th wedding anniversary! We were amazed how quickly those years zoomed past! The cardinal photos are beautiful and the perfect birds to help you celebrate your golden day!
Many thanks, Marianne! Yes, I agree. Those 50 years seemed to go by in the blink of an eye.
What a lovely couple! Excellent pictures, Sue!
Thank you, Indira!

Thank you, Pepper!
Your photos of birs are pantastic! And congratulation to your 50th!
Thank you!
I lost my mom a few months back. Cardinals were her favorite bird. ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss. Even after 12 years, I still feel the death of my mother deeply.
I’m sorry for your loss, too. I wrote a few pieces about cardinals and my mom on my site.
