BIRD NOTES 20131028/1842: NORTHERN CARDINALS


I’m looking at five male Northern Cardinals in my feeder tree. Just two weeks ago this could never have happened. They had been aggressive toward one another since the onset of spring: chasing one another from the feeders, from the tree, males chasing males, and females only slightly less tolerant of one another. With the imminent approach of winter, they’re starting to get along with one another. They are actually quietly, peacefully taking turns on the feeders.
