NORTHERN CARDINAL AT MAKESHIFT BIRD FEEDER IN BACKYARD, THORNHILL, ON

   We've been talking about putting a bird feeder in the backyard.   Sharon decided to invent a makeshift bird feeder from a yogurt cup and try it out.  She hung it from a thin branch, which hopefully would be too fragile for a squirrel to climb on.  It was filled with seed.  Lo and behold, it worked.

   Here is a photo of a male American Cardinal at the makeshift feeder.  On the ground below the female cardinal was foraging.  Maybe the male dropped some seed for her?  We don't know.
