cardinal's day off


Today is a great day to stay home. I have enjoyed watching the cardinals feed in the backyard. It had snowed early 5 am and expected latter around 5 pm about 5 inches today, they say.

I have taken great interest, more so since the cold weather hit to keep up with the cardinals. They have fatten up on bird premium black oil sunflower seeds and peanuts. I get them from a birder store. I have a visiting blue jay and a rather large red headed woodpecker who also like the peanuts. Matter of fact, the large blue jay seems to like to hoard them, funny... they are such characters.
