Flirty cardinals......

 right outside my dirty, smudgy kitchen window.

 There in the palm tree close to the window.

 They kept hopping from branch to branch making it tough to catch them.

 And of course the sun was pouring in.

 They were fun to watch. Flirty and sassy.

Using all their wiles....

And when the female flew off -  

the male waited a minute or two before following.

It was hard to tell if they were mated or fixin' to be.
