Count em, 9 males and 9 females (they are duller, brownish colors).
Also got some cool shots of a woodpecker (Idk what they are really called).
My neighbor downstairs puts a bag of birdseed out in front of the tree everyday to screw with the natural order hahaha Makes for good bird watching though!

Put up a Passerine feeder and you might attract some REALLY impressive birds to your new 'birdfeeder', I'm a sucker for acquirers, and a cardinal would be perfect for a coppers hawk ;-)

Lovely! The woodpecker is Red Bellied Woodpecker (idk why, I think they should be called a red-naped woodpecker!)

Searching through my facebook photos, I actually found one with cardinals, the woodpecker, and blue jays all in one pic haha. I'm not a big fan of the photos on the ground with all the bird seed everywhere, but oh well.

Theres a few of those ratty tailed squirrels haha. The squirrel community is just as big, but they run the show when they show up (they come in a group all at once and the birds leave usually). We also have a resident black squirrel or two, which none of the other ones are fond of but I like very much.
I'm thinking to catch them and start a tail-less and melanistic line of squirrels to catch the morph market by storm.

I love this picture lol!
Nice picture of the cardinals and the cardinals and jays. Makes me wish I could have a bird feeder, but I am in a townhouse in Florida. No snow. Nothing around but ring necked doves and squirrels and rats that would eat it up like vacuum cleaners. You really need the cold weather to bring many birds to the feeder, I think.
I fondly remember having many birds at my feeder in Maryland.
