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?
