Re: [Maine-birds] cardinals

I agree with Don. I get Cardinals at my feeders in Waterville most days. But during the day it's usually 3-4 birds, evenly mixed between males and females. At dusk today there were 5 males and 4 females at once and I have had had as many a 13 at once (that was during a snow storm).

To those of you who may not see cardinals at your feeders, I suggest that you watch carefully from about 15 minutes after sunset til dark.  Cardinals often come only at that time. I was reminded of that today beginning my first feederwatch of the season.  Although cardinals do show up during the day, in the past few weeks I have seen none. I decided to give it the just before dark test and was rewarded when a pair showed up.  Although there are plenty of m. doves during the day they too will often show up late.  Tonight there was one when it was so dark I could barely see it.
