    1. I'm glad Mr. and Mrs Cardinal has stuck it out...they've been here all through the winter and lost their eggs to that snack this spring. Poor things! they are a sweet couple!

  5. It's so fun to watch the birds. Glad they discovered this feeder.
    PS - remember the giveaway I was doing for the restaurant? Would you believe your number was the first one pulled? Then I had to redraw so someone who could use it would win. What a bummer to have your name drawn this time!

    1. You're so nice to be happy for me. haha..You're just glad they are here and not there! lol....

    2. Yes...on that note...I think you should make a lot of feeders and attract all the birds in the world AWAY from me.

      Did I tell you that we had two red tailed hawks nesting on the top of the building that I work for?? One employee walked into the building with sunglasses on. The hawk saw it's reflection and thought it was another hawk. IT ATTACKED!!!! The woman had her ear near ripped off and was rushed to the hospital. The birds were then sedated and moved upstate. Both SCARY and sad at the same time.

    3. Seriously? Saw it's reflection in her sunglasses? Did she have them on top of her head? You'll never get over your fear of birds now! haha...oh dear!

  10. the feeder, the bird, lovely indeed but what I love best is the cheerful dappled sunshine. It's such a happy thing!

  13. They may still mate again...they usually have a couple of sets of eggs
    We have a little chickadee family flitting around the yard the last few days...4 babies!!!
    They are so cute...flapping their small wings and clinging to anything they can reach...so cute..

    Have a great day...another hot one here, and the humidity going up again for the weekend...
    more swimming I guess!!

    Cheers!
    Linda :o)

  14. Your Ohio birds are so beautiful and colorful...my CA birds are sweet, but not very colorful.

    This picture is just awesome...I must repeat again, Betsy... I want to see all these in a Calendar for 2013, and I'm putting in my order now....

    I had the saddest day yesterday, and part of it is about a little bird...check out my blog today.

  21. Very nice. I've always felt the female cardinal's beauty is under-rated due to the brilliance of the male. But she has such a soft buff color - she's absolutely beautiful.

    1. AngelMay??? Where have you been, girl!? :) I agree about Mrs. Cardinal...she's lovely!

  22. We have a bird feeder, too, complete with a screen to keep squirrels away. I really enjoy watching the birds come and go to have a bite to eat. NOTE: Predictable, lame joke to follow. We haven't had any cardinals, though. A few popes, but no cardinals.
