[Dthomp2669@xxxxxxx]

Happy Cool Morning Everyone,
 
A pair of cardinals just arrived here in the Charlotte Park area of West  
Nashville with two begging, baby, black billed's just shivering and quivering  
their wings.  Seems a little late for them, but they are obviously just out  of 
the nest.  It wouldn't be the first time that I've had cardinals AND  
mockingbirds bringing young ones from the nest this late.  
I believe my mockingbirds gave up during the heat, and some may not have  
made it.  One of my young ones has stayed around this year.  Perhaps  it is the 
replacement for an old one that expired.  The parents usually  chase them away 
from here as soon as they learn to feed sufficiently to survive  on their own. 
 Sometimes, the dispersal activity gets rather  brutal when the parents are 
literally chasing them out of the home  territory.
