The goal of the YMCA is to strengthen communities through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.. Each location supports a neighbourhood, so in the YMCA's terms the YMCA serves, or is anchored in, about 10,000 communities.
The female northern cardinal builds the nest, incubates the eggs for 11 to 13 days, and broods the altricial chicks for the first 2 days or so. During incubation, the male brings food to the incubating female. Both parents feed the nestlings a diet of insects and remove fecal sacs from the nest.
We had a cardinal build a nest in a sprub right next to the private entrance to our office. The 2 babies hatched about 10 days ago. First one baby was gone and there was one left. That bird was in the nest this morning and is gone this afternoon. No sign of the mother.
