At the Feeder Cardinal - Cardinalis Cardinalis

" Bird feeders are a recent phenomenon in nature. With the advent of naturalist
field guides, due to the great work of Roger Troy Peterson, the population of
bird watchers and bird lovers has steadily increased. Bird feeders have made
a difference, particularly to seed-eating birds, during the stressful time of
winter and may have been a factor in extending the range of the cardinal
in the north. The cardinal is a non-migrant and needs all of the help
it can get in winter.

There is a school of thought which says that bird feeders do more harm
than good, and that one should let nature take it's course. I feel,
however, that bird populations are under so many other pressures
that the extra calories in winter, if administered faithfully, are of
overall benefit. And besides, it gives me a thrill to see a cardinal
close at hand."
