(24,644 posts)9. I've gotta figure out how to post pics
here on DU. We don't have Cardinals out here but the Jays are beautiful this time of year. We had some Steller's Jays move through around Christmas. They're so fun to watch. I went through an epic amount of seed while they hung around.

With the snow and ice, they're really hungry. Probably 30+ at a time of cardinals goldfinches, wrens, nuthatches, titmice, and blue jays. We have several feeders and suet cakes.
