Occasional Toronto: Red In The Snow

Red In The Snow

While I was watching the snow falling in yesterday's pic there were four male Cardinals flitting about in the trees and this one landed in the tree just beyond the light standard pole in yesterday's pic. The males seem to be intensely red right now so maybe they are gearing up for spring!

When I move to my new house I am putting in bird feeders.
Put sunflower or safflower seeds in your feeder. Black Sunflower seeds are a favorite of cardinals. ...

Stopping by for Saturday's Critters.

Jenn Jilks said...: We have just one, since early winter. I think his partner either left or was killed (we found one female on the road, ded). Then, he was feeding the baby by himself. The young 'un has disappeared, too!; February 17, 2019 at 10:23 AM
