[TN-Bird] Winter Arrivals/Fledgling Cardinals

I had singing White-throated Sparrows at home on Saturday, Oct. 22. A 
Dark-eyed Junco showed up at the feeders this morning (Sunday, Oct. 23). 
In addition, I've had several good looks at a noisy Winter Wren today. 

A somewhat surprising group of feeder visitors is a female Northern Cardinal 
and her two noisy fledglings. She cannot hull sunflower seeds fast enough to 
keep up with their incessant begging. Since these young cardinals were probably 
in the nest in early October, that seems like a rather late nesting.
