As they say in the wild kingdom, when one species goes into decline, another replaces it. With me it has been cardinals. They're almost always at the feeders. I have seen as many as four males in the yard at one time, with their entourages of females and juveniles in tow. This tells me that I have three or four families visiting. This time last year it was one or two groups.
I guess there are worse things than a bunch of cardinals raiding the feeders. They do bring color to the surroundings.
But I'm hoping one of these weather systems will bring some migrants soon. I need new faces.
Here's what I saw today:
(AM, drizzle, 66 degrees, 20 minutes)
Northern Cardinal
House Finch
American Goldfinch
Brown-headed Nuthatch
Carolina Chickadee
