I just had a pair of Red-wing Blackbirds show up this morning, and I have quite a variety of woodpeckers, some of them huge! Some of the woodpeckers and Chickadees all but ignore me when I approach the feeders. Most of the others stay pretty close by. The Cardinals remain timid. There are a lot of them. I've never had so many Cardinals in one yard, that I remember, at least not since I was a kid. My great-grandma had a perfect garden and an incredible number and variety of birds.

That is surprising. If there is more than one male cardinal in my yard, it usually means there's going to be a battle. Cardinals are very territorial. It's always a hoot to see two bright red boy cardinals beating the crap out of each other while their women sit on the feeder, munching away, talking about the weather or whatever cardinals talk about :)
