Valentine's Day is a sweet day for wildlife as well as for our human hearts.... at least here in Southern Arizona. Song birds start singing. Hummingbirds start pairing up and chasing each other all over the place. And our male and female cardinals (who mate for life) begin their courtship. Yesterday, for the first time this season, our male cardinal was sitting in the top of 75 foot mesquite tree singing his heart out. Hopefully, that will continue for the next couple of months. It has become a comforting sign for us each year. They will find a place close by to nest. Then we get to watch as the female gets seeds from our "cardinal" feeder and gives to her young. I just love Valentine's Day. My favorite holiday.
