As the snow stopped this morning we had at least 12 male cardinals and
their attendant females at the feeders and surrounding trees. What a sight
in the fresh new snow! My question is this:
Several times a day, the cardinals show up to feed in great numbers; do
they travel as a group in the winter, or do they just know the appointed
hour to feed at our feeders and meet here? Soon they will start chasing one
another, presumably to set up breeding spaces; summertime finds only a few
at a time. But for now, I'll enjoy the sight of all that red against the
snow!!!
