In time this young buck nubs will become antlers. His coat (hair} is now changing to over to his winter coat, which is thicker and longer. That will help him to stay warmer in the winter months. This is my favorite picture of a bird. I wonder what the bird was thinking as she looks into the eyes of the statue of the girl. The Downy Woodpecker, female, photo was taken one winter day with snow on the ground.  In the fall and winter months the cardinals will join up with other cardinals when searching for food. More eyes, the better it is in finding food. A group can cover a larger area then just one cardinal.  |
