Cardinal Rules!

With all this snow, the feeder is covered(!) with birds. There are so many cardinals, I can't count them all. In addition, the robins and catbirds are around, and they are the reason I leave the crabapples on the trees over winter, as they have been eating that fruit non stop in this weather.
Also spotted yesterday at the feeder was a red-winged black bird, grackles and starlings and tufted titmice, red finches, gold finches, rufous sided towhees. Also german sparrow, chipping sparrow, and song sparrows. And of course, the chickadees, nuthatches, carolina wren, downy and red bellied woodpeckers.

Peach was not even remotely interested in birds.
A nap was more his speed.
