Missouri Weather

Weather in Missouri can be an adventure.  Here is a short weather video I call, the good, the bad, and the Okay, I'll stop filming.

A couple of days after the storm I checked the cardinal nest.  It was empty.

It appeared to be in a very young and supple tree, subject to bending in the high winds we had.  On closer inspection, it was actually in a thorn bush.  I found the thorns the hard way, pulling them back so I could see.  Baldy is a young bird.  He has time to try again.  Hard to take.  I was looking forward to watching the babies from a distance.  I've not seen a cardinal nest here until this one.  Maybe next time.
