At lunch time (it's a work day) I noticed a female cardinal at the green feeder! At the same time as 3 song sparrows were eating! Then a male cardinal came by and ate from the table (from the mixed-seed plate)! The male then hopped to the ground and foraged there for a while.
Some minor arguments as the song sparrows tried to shoo the cardinals away, but I think they worked it out fairly amicably.
But wow, so cool, 5 birds of 2 species at the same time!
A few minutes later, I had my first sighting of the neighbourhood rat. Very cute! But I feel like not something I should encourage. So, placed my dog's fur at the fence and at a spot of the bed s/he was trying to dig, no idea if that will work.
Also, yesterday started seeing the chipmunk, and earlier today too. (Actually saw 2 chipmunks at once yesterday)
It's a zoo around here...!
