Hello, Yesterday for some reason I had in addition to the usual winter visitors at my feeder ( juncos, house finches, hairy and downy wp, bluejay, white-breasted Nuthatch, goldfinches, 3 cardinals, 1 harris sparrow,house sparrows,red-bellied Wp, and chickadees) some new arrivals. I had 4 more cardinals show up for a total of 7 ( 5 Female, 2 male), 7 more harris sparrows, 1 white-crowned sparrow, 1 mourning dove, 1 brown creeper and 2 grackles. My guess is these birds were in the area due to unseasonably warm weather and due to the recent cold snap came to my feeders. Good Birdin', Ed Thelen Spirit Lake,Iowa [email protected]
