While eating my lunch, I noticed some activity outside my kitchen window.
Baby Cardinals just out of the nest were having a nice mud bath in my flower bed.
Dad was keeping a watchful eye on the kids.
As soon as Cardinal family left, this Green Anole hopped on the sill to do some bug hunting on my window.
Yup, I know that window needs to be cleaned, it always does.
All the photos were taken through the kitchen window. I planted the bed with flowering plants that attract all kinds of backyard critters and there’s a feeder for Hummingbirds. I am always entertained while I dine.

Perfect
Awe! Those babies are cute with their bright eyes,and I enjoy those little anoles that run around here even sometimes popping in the house to check us out.
We find the anoles in the house and sometimes very dehydrated.
Lucky you, to have baby cardinals! I think they’re among the sweetest babies. I still have my fingers crossed, as mama and daddy cardinal have become faithful visitors to my balcony.
I’ve been watching a pair of doves. Today, one showed up on the railing with a nice, long twig in its bill. I don’t know where the nest is, but I’ll keep an eye out for it.
Your anole’s gorgeous. I really like them, but we have mostly the brown and black ones around here.
The brown anoles have made it up here. At first they stayed in front of the house for a few years and now they are in the back. Migration?
Dining entertainment!
Really nice shots of the cardinals. They’re so cute and I love to watch dads feed them after they’ve fledged.
I didn’t think the shots worked as I took them through a window. I could not get the babies in the puddle as there was too many plants in the way.
Oh my! It is H. R. Pufnstuf again! and he is at the window!
I feel like we look through the same kitchen window…loved this post!
Thank you.
More cardinals, but of a different species. They are such pretty birds though I have rarely seen the babies. Lucky you!
