Male Cardinals in molting stage, fighting on my deck.
Two male cardinals, both in their molting stage, fighting for the whole unsalted peanuts on my deck. I feed the birds year round in my yard. As fall approaches, the winter birds show up. Cardinals are actually here year round but they really enjoy the peanuts I put out in my deck feeder.
