For the past several days we have been treated to LOTS of Cardinals--all at one time, at our feeders. By 'lots' I mean, we reached a high number of 22 today!! They all seem to come at once at dusk. While we try to count them quickly, they flit to the bushes and then we have to re-start our count. There is approximately an even number of males and females, so quite a beautiful sight! It is probably helpful that Larry throws a lot of white millet seed on the ground for them. We both have also heard, separately, Cardinals singing the past couple of days. Perhaps it is because of the high number of them--or else the longer day length. --
