Early in the morning I look out the window and I see red, pardon the pun but it’s true! What happens is that when I see my backyard is teeming with Northern Cardinals of all ages, gender and color shades!

There are so many of them now that they make me feel guilty when I see them finish all the seeds and still are looking for more, so I go to refill their feeders again and again! If they stay until next month and don’t decide to go into migration then it’s going to be a Red October, there I go again! Pardon the pun! I don’t mean the cold war situation, I mean that they will stay for the winter and I will be feeding a crowd and my bank account will go in the red! I’m sorry I didn’t mean that!

I’d better end my post before I screw up again! I’m embarrassed, I ‘m starting to fell my face turn red! … Aw! Stop it!
