A male Northern Cardinal will often court a female by offering her food. I have seen that behavior before, but today was the first time I managed to capture it in photos. This took place this morning in a small grove next to Barnegat Lighthouse.
A male Cardinal holding a seed in his beak.
He fed the seed to an appreciative female Cardinal.
A fraction of a second after the “kiss”.
Oh my goodness, Hien, I love these captures, so sweet!
