Fathers can be mothers too by Linda Young

Every year a new clutch of Cardinal babies arrive in our pine tree; every year the father and mother yap at me to get off my patio because I'm in their space! So, this time, I left my "perch" and ran upstairs to get on an even level with the baby and father Cardinal. I watched from a place they didn't expect me to be and took the picture of daddy feeding his offspring which I have placed into a small painting.
