[cayugabirds-l] Cardinals and cherry blossoms

2023-04-20 Thread Peter Saracino
Today along Ontario Pathways near Phelps, NY, I watched as a male and
female cardinal appeared to be dining on cherry blossoms. I couldn't tell
if they were eating them or were after the nectar. They didn't seem to keep
a blossom in their bills long enough to be eating them. But they were
certainly putting them into their mouths. Then they'd quickly release them.
So, it was snowing blossoms. A lovely sight- especially when the male began
to sign.
