After yesterday’s snow, Garden Birds are out in force—and they seem to have set a temporary truce on the pecking order.
Carson Cardinal here even allows a couple of sparrows to intrude on his space. Normally I never see them so close when foraging on the ground.
It’s almost as if the birds are cooperating. Why? Does the snow make it so hard to find food that a bird just doesn’t have energy to enforce his personal boundaries?
What do YOU think? Do the birds seem closer than usual? If so, why?
Thanks, dear Follower. You’re the best!

If you check the eye position of each bird, you’ll note that none are looking at other birds, but scanning the snowy ground for seeds.#3 in a collection of 3 photographs. Eventually Carson wandered off by himself, still concentrating intently on the seeds, with apparent disregard for other Garden Birds.
