There wasn't a whole lot going on during our walk to the pond. We stopped at one of the blinds and saw a lot of activity in the vicinity of the feeder. Here are some birds spotted there that afternoon.

Ok, not a bird, but this chipmunk was sure cute.

if just one red bird, such as your cardinal, showed up around here, it would make the 11o'clock news! such a beautiful color!
I do love the cardinals. They are so common here that we take them for granted. They also have a wide variety of songs and if you hear one that's unfamiliar, you go looking for the newcomer. "Oh -it's just a cardinal. . ."
I feel rather lucky to be in Ohio during bird migration season. We're on a major pathway that brings an interesting mix of birds in the spring and fall. The cardinals are year-round residents and their red color is absolutely stunning in the winter against a snowy backdrop.
The last bird in the post is a Red-bellied Woodpecker.
Yep, you're right! I had a major typo (senior moment?) when I posted. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
