[cayugabirds-l] Cardinals and cherry blossoms

2021-04-19 Thread Peter Saracino 
Folks - a question.
Today I watched a male Cardinal in a cherry tree. He was picking at the
blossoms, putting them in his mouth, then quickly discarding them. He was
grabbing them from the stem end and not the blossom end.  He was doing it
for quite some time. The path beneath the trees was covered with discarded
blossoms.
Any idea(s)?
Thanks.
Pete Sar

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Cardinals and cherry blossoms

2021-04-19 Thread Donna Lee Scott 
Long ago I sucked the sweet nectar from periwinkle flowers- from the stem side.
Guess I will try it with cherry blossoms tomorrow.
