    Those are such beautiful birds. You're lucky to have them. :D And I'm lucky to have you, since you share your birds with me.

    I haven't seen any Cardinals at my feeders yet this year. I wonder where they are?
    They look so nice against the white snow.

    I'm so glad you feed these lovely little birds CK. They need all the help they can get during the winter months.

    I don't feed the birds during the summer. There is so much natural food for them around here, I don't want them to get dependant on handouts. I usually start feeding them about mid to late October. Now that we have had a little snow, the Juncos have started coming to the feeder. They are a ground feeding bird and there are usully 3 or 4 of them under the feeders.
