How cool if there had been green I would have thought Holly. Do they fight, like typical males or do they actually take turns?
ReplyDeleteI see two on the right, one high one low but I would guess there were two on the feeder, unless the one on the feeder has been there for a week non-stop and can no longer fly, great image and challenge.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love that bright red against the gray background.
ReplyDeleteHow'd you get five??? I'm going to try that seed thing...
ReplyDeleteI think I found all 3 of the ladies, as well. They sure are hidden!
Val, fill a feeder with only black oil sunflower seed. We get a dozen and more male cardinals at a time. If you want to attract woodpeckers and some wonderful small birds, try peanuts, shelled or unshelled. Nuthatches will actually tame quickly and take shelled peanuts right from your open palm. A suet feeder will really ramp up your visits from woodpeckers. To get the best price on peanuts, try buying in bulk from a feed/seed store (farm store/grain mill) rather than from a bird or variety store.
ReplyDeleteHow nice of those guys to pose so prettily, I could only see two females. Amazing to me that cardinals changed their migration habits because of being fed
ReplyDeleteBlack oil sunflower seed is the only seed I use, too. Rarely use suet as it's usually too hot here. Have you seen a male share seed with a female?
ReplyDeleteIt's like Where's Waldo!! The difference is I found the females and I can't ever find anything in Where's Waldo!! I've never seen so many cardinals together at one time.
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing shot! I've never seen more than two at one time.
ReplyDeleteThe red really pops out - nice shot!
