Twice this afternoon a female Northern Cardinal flew toward my birdfeeder carrying a substantial white object in her bill. Both times the cargo was a fecal sac, which she dropped where I could see it clearly when she perched a couple feet away from the feeder before she perched on the feeder and fed briefly on sunflower seeds. Probably there are folks reading this who know better than I, and I’m interested in your opinions, but it seems to me that August 28 is pretty late to have nestlings, which is what her activity indicated. Late or normal, it was cool to witness.
