Northern Cardinal Couple Up Close

Video: Northern Cardinals Up Close

Close up quality time with a beautiful Northern Cardinal couple in the dense jungle behind the Backyard. A very unusual and relaxing backdrop for watching Cardinals! There are usually one pair of Cardinals that call the Backyard area home, but they are very low profile and hide in the deep brush - making quick darts to the feeder. I can never get to spend any time with them as they are dominated by the Jays, Grackles Woodpeckers and squirrels around the feeders. So I took the food to them into the jungle and succeeded in getting them to enjoy a private dinner until a surprise crass visitor totally destroys the party at the end. Your in for a treat!

Grackles Versus Blue Jays Up Close

Purple Grackles and Blue Jays are not going to share the bird seed - period! The arrival of the iridescent Purple Grackles - a  subspecies of common Grackle has seriously cramped the Blue Jay's style. A Purple Grackle announces he's the new songbird king of the Backyard - that's not going to go over to well with the resident Blue Jays! If you have never seen a Purple Grackle up close - they are quite beautiful and striking birds with their sharp yellow/black eyes and black, purple, green, brown, and blue iridescent feathers depending on how the light strikes them.
