Update on our Cardinals

Well the eggs hatched yesterday. We loved seeing the brand new Cardinal babies (they were sooo little). Unfortunately there were only 2 babies in the nest. I figured one of the three died and the parents moved the body. We went to check on them today and the nest was completely empty. We searched for bodies, but found no trace of them. Whats even more confusing is that the nest is completely unharmed. Daddy Cardinal is still hanging around, but I haven't seen Mom all day. I really was hoping that the parents were able to move the babies, but after researching a little more I don't think that is possible and we fear that the worst may have happend. It was a very sad day for us. We were so looking forward to watching this family grow and having their beauty around us.
