    Every day we have lots and lots of cardinals at the feeders in our front yard. I count sometimes as many as 20 or 25 at one time. Always first thing in the morning and last thing before dark they are there. We fill the feeders every day and also have one for sunflower seeds. The little birds that come scatter the seed from the feeders to the ground.

    I think there was one more but I didn't load them in order so I am not sure which one is left out. I took about 30 pictures but not all of them were good enough and some of these may be hard to see. I wish I had one of those cameras with a zoom lens so I could get closer.

    wow... to have over 20 visit every day must be a real treat. I see about 4 or 5 here and just that few make me happy. I'm agree Dooley.... a camera with a nice zoom would be awesome. I've already but in my request with Santa for next year. :-D

    That's 20 at one time. There are always cardinals under the feeders whenever you look out there. Lots and lots of them during the day.

    Just like a flying bouquet. Lucky you! They are such bright pretty birds to see in the brown of winter.

    Dooley's yard must be a Cardinal paradise. I have never seen that many Cardinals in one place at one time.

    I see Cardinal's in my yard maybe once or twice a year at my feeders. I wonder why they don't come more? They are so beautiful!

    I love seeing your cardinals and wouldn't mind seeing twenty of them in real life. Lucky you!
