Index of Subjects One male cardinal at the feeder - the first I have seen in a month. A flock of brant flying towards Cape Island, another flock behind the funeral home - perhaps fifty birds there. About twenty pine siskins. A few junko and white throated sparrows. A few blue jays. A white breasted nuthatch - eating black sunflower seeds - it would come down the tree, get a seed, carry it up and lay it on a limb, then turn upside down and pick the center out of the seed.
