Actually, the night before last, a huge wind came roaring through and blew the seed feeder, full of seed, right off the railing. Maybe the squirrels will clean all of that up.

The suet....Stick something red on it like pieces of dried strawberry or press red bits of pet food into it....maybe a few dried cherries?
They are not seeing it...

I love cardinals, but have never seen so many together at one time. I always see them only 1 pair at a time and they are so beautiful.

you make me homesick. i used to love bright sunny days after big snow storm. all the trees in the woods around my house filled with bright scarlet joy. we had so many cardinals around our homes in n.j. and pa.

they are beautiful, aren't they? if i had my feeder that close to the rail, the squirrels would have eaten every seed and left nothing for any bird. we have a standing pole smack in the center of the yard with a squirrel guard on the pole.

just saw a goldfinch this morning. do you keep a life list?

I moved to Colorado from Missouri 10 years ago and I do miss the Cardinals. They seem to have them in Kansas, guess they do not like the high altitude.
