It's is bird city in my backyard today and for the last few days. Today, I've seen Mr. Cardinal (I don't know where the Mrs is), 2 blue jays (They always come in pairs. I don't know if they are mates, but they rarely stay long), various other sundry birds, and a mourning dove. They do make quite a mess under the apple tree where I feed them, but the entertainment for both myself and my cat Dakota makes it so worthwhile. :)
