As some of you might have read in something I posted somewhere, the birds in my 'hood have been MIA for months. We found out why. There's been a couple of hawks hanging around. But just before New Year's I put out some of my feeders. Wasn't but 5 minutes after I filled the feeder with the mixed seeds and fruit that I saw a pair of cardinals. The male was at the feeder and the female was watching from the overhead power line. The next morning I put some fresh thistle in the goldfinch feeder and I've been seeing a couple finches on it. I've seen 1 or 2 jays at the peanut feeder. Think they're all a little skittish because of the hawks.
Margaret — Interesting info about the jays.
Carole — Beautiful birds!
