______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The last of our wild canaries have gone. A few hung around until winter finally settled in with temperatures now dipping to below zero during the night and early morning. The bird feeder is now bursting with chickadees and bright red cardinals, both winter residents, staying for the duration. The cardinals will even hang around for the summer, but the chickadees will be long gone when the canaries return in the Spring. All of them love the sunflower seeds that were recently harvested from the Michigan fields. The chickadees are so social and trusting they will pick the seeds right out of our hands. May your days be as bright as the beautiful red cardinals and the chickadees’ delight.
