I think you're right, DD! Its a female cardinal IMO.
Very very cool and it is a female cardinal 100%

Yes. It is a female cardinal. If you watch the nearby trees and cover closely you may find the male cardinal “”0n the lookout “ while the female feeds. The same scenario happens when the male is feeding. Look for the female under cover keeping an eye out for danger.
Any hummingbirds yet at the new place

Nice pics DD. As mentioned above ... 100% female cardinal.
nice pictures, don't think I have ever seen a Cardinal where I live.
Seen but one here and that was itnice pictures, don't think I have ever seen a Cardinal where I live.
I've seen a few over the years. I remember seeing the odd one when the snow was down too ! Back when I was young, early every winter, my mom would make me go down the road to the "mash" and cut 4 or 5 black spruce trees...drag em up over the road (1/2 mile or more) and stick them in amongst her big weigela trees...for the poor little birds ! They need some cover to stay warm she'd say.. ( I miss her so)
She'd always save her used lard, shortening and fat and mix it with bird seed and get me to put it out there for them.

I usually have the odd cardinal come around, one of my favourites to see!
The hummingbirds are out here, as well.

I've had a pair at my feeder here in Bedford off and on over the winter these last 4 years. Beautiful birds.I usually have the odd cardinal come around, one of my favourites to see!

The hummers are buzzing around here
Wife put the feeders out last week and weve refilled them already

A bit seems to have leaked out because of the feeder blowing around but I hope the rest was eaten.

We had them visit the feeder during the winter in Windsor. About five years ago we decided not to feed the birds any longer due to the amount of domestic house cats lining up on our fence lying in wait to attack the various birds at the feeder. The last winter we feed the birds I found the remains of at least a half dozen birds.
Apparently domestic cats are one of a song bird’s worst predators.

Yes that can be a problem. We had one guy sitting under the feeder occasionally this winter but he never caught anything and I put the run to him every time I saw him. We had two outdoor cats a few years ago and they definitely killed a few songbirds and lots of rodents. More mice than birds thankfully.Tony m said”

We’ve had cardinals here for 4-5 yrs. They tend to shy away from one feeder which is in the open but see them a lot at another feeder that’s kind of hidden amongst some trees.
We have a cat but she is old ( 21 now) and can’t catch birds or squirrels but does get the odd mole, likely cause they’re blind.
