Remember the Snow?

I took this photo through my window when there was still snow here... today it was in the low 60 degrees F! I find this utterly depressing - January is a time for SNOW here!! This morning I actually saw two robins.
My cats had a great time watching this cardinal. I'm just starting to watch bird behavior, and I noticed that the female and male cardinals never eat at my feeder together! One always stays in the tree, apparently to watch for danger? They are so pretty!

What a great photo! Love the contrast of the red feathers and white snow. And it bet it was great cat TV! :)

Thanks! Absolutely great cat tv :) this is why they won't watch those catsitter DVDs!! But hey, a real bird is always better than one on DVD!
