Hello Dan,While several hundred miles seperate our home from yours, we also see the same birds at our feeders. The landscape has been a bit drab also until the first real snow of the season arrived late Sunday early Monday. Needless to say we were in awe of the change. But what also was a treat was a visit from a pair of Cardinals at our open black sunflower feeder. Not only was it our first confirmed sighting this winter but it was so beautiful to see the red of the Cardinal against the white back drop of the new snowy landscape. A perfect way to start a day!Melissa
