…at and below the feeder.

As usual, they come in at dusk, but this is the greatest number I’ve seen at one gathering. Does word go out on a cardinal grapevine? Furthermore, speaking of birds, today, on our walk, along the edge of campus, I saw a robin, up in a hackberry tree, eating hackberries. Either this bird did not migrate (which some few don’t) or it’s a very early arrival. Either way, not the brightest robin in the flock—intense cold continues, and besides hackberries there is not much to eat if you are not partial to seeds and bird-feeders.

I was planning to post about today’s Senate hearing and Jamie Raskin’s brilliant closing remarks, but, thanks to the cardinals, I need to postpone until tomorrow.
