Red Birds

[Adansonia]

Just sitting outside at the pit with a rack of ribs slow cooking and realized I have not seen or heard a Red Bird in a long time. Are they seasonable? As a kid I can remember them all year round. Now, I have not seen one in a good while. What gives?

If you are talking cardnels there were over 50 of them in my brush blind last weekend in east Texas.

They're skitzophrenic vagabonds on meth I think. They show up here in the winter stay until sometime during the summer then nothing. One year they'll nest close to the house, next year nothing.

I'm in the blind right now watching 6

Wow. Oh, so they are meth heads that come and go as they please. I guess they will be back soon now that winter is closing in.

Usually have 3-6 in my back yard at the feeder but for the past 8 months it has been hit or miss. I haven't filled the feeder in 3 weeks. The house finches, chickadees, and titmice are absent too.

Yes, cardinals are very common here in town. See them a lot in the country also, here in north Texas.

Come to think about it, I haven't seen any Mocking birds either. I am usually covered up with them.
