Say Hello To Mr. Grumpy
Looked out our sunroom and spotted this male Northern Cardinal sitting in one of the trees gazing at the back yard, not looking too happy.
For the past several weeks our yard has been overrun with cats, no way to know if they were neighbor cats or just strays but as a result I stopped putting out the Goode Bowls and filling the feeders, except for one feeder located away from the house. Last thing I wanted was to encourage the cats to ambush an unsuspecting bird, squirrel or chipmunk. Which I'm sure was happening while I was at work and unable to run them off.
Finally, for the past three days there have been no cat sightings, so some of the feeders were filled this afternoon, not all of them. The Goodie Bowls may have to wait a few more days.
Sorry Mr. Grumpy, it may be a week or so until things are back to normal and we can confirm the cats are mostly gone.
** Not as clear as I'd like as this was taken through the window.
