Nice series. I think, and I have been known to be wrong, what you have captured is a male Cardinal feeding his almost fully grown youngster. Their offspring will beg to be fed for some time after leaving the nest.
Very nice series. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Nice photos. I think that is probably correct. I watched a parent hairy woodpecker feed its almost grown youngsters from the suet feeder - they were waiting 12 inches away and couldn't apparently figure out that they could help themselves...

I have observed that a young bird(s) will perch in the trees fluttering its wings while the adult obtains seed or suet from a feeder to feed it.

Nice capture Harve... I got a similar shot of two House Finches a while back in my Dogwood tree... http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-300629-1.html
