7. This far South, we have Cardinals aplenty

They are everywhere, but this winter, they are just trying to stay warm . Love them. I even feel sorry for the Bluejays this year, and they are difficult LOL. Well, not as bad as a Mockingbird in the spring, but bad enough

I've had wrens nest under the eaves for at least 4 years. Cute little grassbirds. I love them and I scolded the cat once and she has left them alone since. I don't think the other cats will, but my cat is pretty much the defender of her territory so none of those get here, anyway. Except the raccoons, and they can't reach the baby wrens

I'm thinking of building a small wire box under the eaves so that the nasty things can't get to the mother or father when sitting on the eggs.
