Snowy Bird Feeder

We've been having lots of activity as usual at our bird feeder with large groups of chickadees, juncos, finches and flocks of sparrows of course but also cardinals. Today there were four cardinals bullying the other birds and trying to get to the seeds which they can't because the feeder is designed for small birds. They simply can't fit inside where the seeds are located. They end up on the ground under the feeder looking for seed droppings but they keep trying to get to the feeder. Bird brains.

Highly entertaining to watch as I sit at the kitchen table with my laptop. 

A couple of days ago we had two hawks hanging around in the backyard. All the birds disappeared and the bird feeder was empty while the hawks were around.
