Early bird is a cardinal

His eminence showed up as soon as it was light. Later the finches and titmice came to feed.

Late afternoon brought a food fight to the Sunflower Seed Diner. A junco and a finch had had a midair battle which the finch won. Then a cardinal showed up and chased the finch off the feeder. And more juncos, finches and both cardinals continued to shoo each other away. Chickadees sneaked in whenever they could.

It has been a beautiful, warm St. Patrick's Day. The groundhog may have been right this year!
