My snow-covered Granville back yard has many of the usual suspects this morning, joined by a lovely fox sparrow. However the cardinals are conspicuous by their absence, which my husband and I have noted for a number of days. We have one or two cardinals where we used to have twenty-plus. Anyone know what's going on?
