I peered into the cardinals' nest this morning as I left for work, and found it empty. I'm sure I had checked just the day before, and the two little ones were still there.
I'm sure they were too little to have left on their own. What might have happened? Did some predator raid the nest? If so, what was it? Another bird? A rat, or snake, or squirrel? It likely will remain a mystery.
I was looking forward to seeing the hatchlings grow up and fledge, and was sad to see the nest empty - so abruptly.
