This question came to me from aMaster Naturalist friend....I'll forward on any of your answers to him.....Maggie Nature Maggie, A female cardinal has been landing on a bare leafed redbud tree next to the window of my garage. She flies at the window for about 5 minutes, then leaves. The first time I saw it, I thought that she was protecting her territory, but she keeps returning. There is an over-wintering brugmansia at that window inside the garage. Is she looking to get to the green bush? or is it a territorial thing. I thought that only male birds scoped out their territory and protected it but only after mating and starting a family. Que pasa? TED ps If you see Lance, let him know that a brown-headed nut hatch is pecking out a hole in the phone pole out front of our house. He would get a kick out of that.
