[va-bird] Wonderful yard surprise last night

Va-Birders: I came home last night to 5 male cardinals in our back yard -
all in one small area - quite a sight.  I'm not sure if the one female was
impressed or not :-)
Then under our feeder in the front (about 15-20 feet from the front door) I
had 2 song sparrows and 2 towhees!  Yup - 2 towhees just hanging out in the
open under the feeder picking up the dropped seeds.  What a sight from my
front door.  I actually had to do a double take - I've seen our one backyard
towhee in the bushes from time to time but I've never seen a towhee so out
in the open - never mind two at once.

And, I almost forgot, the other morning the pileated pair was out back - the
male on the feeder and the female at our bird bath.  It was a perfect way to
start the day.

Seems spring has sprung for everyone!

Enjoy the birds and the wonderful weather.

Cheers, Janet Martin
