[Leica] IMG: Cold Weather Feeding

[Jim Nichols]

Hi Don,

Our Cardinals seem to be year-round residents.  I have a lot of bushes 
which provide them shelter.

I have had a Sharp Shinned Hawk show up a couple of times and become a 
threat.  My solution is to let the feeders go empty for2-3 weeks, which 
encourages him to find food elsewhere.  The songbirds eventually come back.
