Our most common visitor and a new addition




The House Finch seems to be our most frequent guest at our bird feeders.  For Mother's Day I got another bird feeder and we have started an experiment.  I have placed two different kinds of bird seed for the birds to choose from.  One is a berry blend and the other has various nuts in it.  So far, the House Finch doesn't care which feeder he goes to.  However, today we were visited by a new bird, it is a female Northern Cardinal.  The male Northern Cardinal is the traditional red color.  The female who visited us today spent all of her time at the berry blend birdseed.  She also stayed around a lot longer than the males, who usually just barely touch down for a quick bite and then they are gone.  It was fun to watch her!
