[TN-Bird] Winter is upon us...

Several winter visitors have arrived in my little corner of the world in 
Nashville. The woods are covered with Robins eating fall berries. Last week I 
had a flock or Cedar Waxwings giving them some competition. Several Ruby 
Crowned Kinglets, and my first Brown Creeper arrived last week too. A couple 
days ago a pretty little pair of Dark-eyed Juncos came to eat, and yesterday 
several White-throated Sparrows arrived. The Cardinals are flocking, and they 
use my back yard as their feeding grounds. They are the last birds to arrive 
for a late dinner in the twilight. Tonight I had 8 males amd 3 females at the 
same time. It's been this way for several years now, but I wonder why there 
are always so many more males than females. Any ideas?
