Bird Wars…

When you keep bird feeders around your yard, the birds let you know when they are empty.  This little cardinal was pecking at the window today letting me know it was time to refill.

As I went out to refill the feeder (it was very snowy and windy) he sat on a nearby tree branch watching.  He was very happy, as you can see by the picture, to swoop in and get his breakfast.

Soon after, his breakfast was disturbed by a pesky bluebird who kept flying at him to chase him off.

The cute little redhead would not give up and declared war on the bluebird.  He swooped at him over and over until the bluebird finally decided it was best to move on.

And the bluebird and a few sparrows surrendered and decided to eat the seed from below the feeder that the feisty redhead dropped!
