There are lots of nice Winter birds and year-around ones, on the Eastern Seaboard - and if you’re still in Florida, you’ve probably got an amazing collection:

I’m courting a beautiful Cardinal, right now ;-)
He and his missus have been with me all summer; and they stay around here all year. They are very smart and discriminating birds, and take a while to get used to you; but once they do, they’ll come to you when you’ve accustomed them to food and call them.

You’ve probably got them down there - put out some hulled safflower seed and black-oil Sunflower seed:

How I wish we could! We live in a downtown high-rise condo. The only birds I see up this high are occasional crows. We aren't even allowed plants on our balconies. :o(

I gave my sister all my hummingbird feeders though as she has a nice backyard at her house so at least they are being put to good use. My other seed feeders I gave to a friend who still lives in Charlotte. I so enjoyed getting to know all the critters we would get there. We even had a deer camp out under our dining room window one day!

I need to start filling our feeders. I love your story about Mr. & Mrs. Cardinal. So, if they don’t fly south, what do they do & where do they live????
