Love Speaks ... Beak to Beak

I shot this image, early afternoon on 9/3/2020 through the window of a mother Cardinal with her baby, who she brought to the feeder bowl where she cracked open the shell of a black oiled sunflower seed, regurgitated the seed and fed it to her young one. I am so happy that I captured this sweet memory that spoke of the bond of love as we don't see as much of the year around wild birds such as the cardinals as we have in the past.
