I get a lot of birds but I can't get any cardinals. I can hear them in the mornings but don't see them at the feeders

 

apparently you need mealworm!!!!!!!:rolleyes: I learned something the past week!!!!!!!!! they like sunflowers and safflower seeds too!!!!! also a good mix for the red breasted grosbeaks, but ithink they like a more wooded area as I don't see to many here intown. when we had the camper I had 4 pair of them.

And remember cardinals like to feed on flat surfaces, like a platform or on the ground.   They don't do tube feeders.

yes indeed, they need a ledge. grab a seed, turn around and eat while surveying the area. I have this one filled with oils, they really like the ledge.for the meal worms I have one now with a mesh tray and a hood. rain wont turn them to mush. also 2 large tube feeders filled with oils for others.

Hanging around Rochester all winter, or until I left end of January anyway.   Come in and clean up under the tube feeders at twilight.

yes indeed, busy scratching the ground and digging. I havnt seen the song sparrows yet but should soon. Usually they come about the same as the white throats. Cool seeing the foxes. Been a while. Mrs P stopped by a bit ago looking for a treat. Lotta birds around again. Song sparrow has a brown stripe on head, fox head is pretty grey
