Cardinals look just beautiful against our freshly fallen snow - today I saw 5 pairs of them in the back yard. They aren't territorial in the wintertime so peace reigns at the bird feeders! In the summer one normally sees just a pair at a time, occasionally two but no more. Several winters ago we had 9 pairs at once - what a glorious sight! I also saw a white throated sparrow, the likes of which I have only seen stopping by in summer before today. What a treat to see these feathered friends, perhaps a reward for my shoveling the driveway today!
