We had snow on Friday. Counties just south of us got more accumulation, and then they had another snowstorm this week that we didn't get at all.
The female cardinal must really like sunflower seeds. She dug through the snow to pull them out.
The other feeder has a camera. It caught her tolerating a sparrow. Sometimes cardinals are aggressive at the feeders, but she was so busy eating that she did not really interrupt her meal.
The sparrow appears to be a white crowned sparrow. I don’t see this kind as frequently as the white throated sparrow, which has yellow parches on the face.
...their cousins visit our feeders daily.
ReplyDeleteGood hungry little critters!
ReplyDeleteHello Linda :)
ReplyDeleteI hope the little sparrow managed to eat some seeds.
Lovely captures of both the Cardinal and the White-crowned Sparrow.
Great captures of the Cardinals and Sparrows.
ReplyDeleteTake care, have a great day!
Love your first cardinal pic. We don't have these birds where I live.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of these lovely birds, Linda! I do love cardinals! Here in Montreal (I live in a 6th floor apartment), there was a male cardinal that would come around and serenade me....I could always tell it was him by his song, even if I couldn't see him, as he stayed well hidden in a tree.
ReplyDeleteGosh! We even had snow here in Tidewater. Strange, but true. :-)
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely birds and beautiful photographs.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
