Refresh my memory....are cardinals cold weather birds?
Have not seen any for the longest time and now they are coming around.
Always glad to see the colors of different birds when they visit.

OK.... I am bored......

But I got fruitcake.

    Cardinals are not migrating birds, you should see them year round in the same area

    I dunno about that... I see/hear them in the Spring and early Summer, but then they're gone.

    @jd50ae fruitcake? Homemade or store bought? I finally had some homemade fruitcake last year and it was amazing.

    They're year-round birds. Just easier to spot in winter months when everything else is gray. We used to have a bunch in Delaware but hardly see them at all up here in PA. 

    I was just talking to my grandmother tonight about fruitcake. She used to make the absolute BEST! Really miss her cooking.

    The Redheaded Bearswatter is proud of her cardinals. They nest in the huge old cherry tree right out front. They feed at the bird window on the north side of the garage -- it's a window I made with witness glass -- mirror one way, look thru the other way. If you make yourself a bird window, make sure to install it on the north side, so's you don't glare your neighbors. Male cardinals can get into fierce quarrels with the bird they see in the mirror. This time of year, we also hang suet blocks out for flickers and such.
