I know winter isn’t far behind when the Northern Cardinals start showing up at my feeders in groups again.
During the breeding season the birds are territorial, but in the winter they often gather together in small flocks.
Over the last week or so I’ve seen at least 8 different cardinals at my feeders. Their bright-red plumage is always a thrill to see–especially when many of the other birds put on their drab browns and greys for the winter.
