Sparrows, A Finch and A Cardinal

Today is Tuesday, February 5th, 2013 and at 5:25 pm, it is a warm and balmy 81 degrees outside. I put some bird seed in the vintage bird cage/bird feeder on my front porch and I opened the window. 

The sparrows were the first to discover the seeds. 

A red finch has been visiting all afternoon, and one cardinal made a brief stop. He didn't like the company, so after squawking for a bit, he left, and has not been back.

 It must be "that time" of year for the sparrows, because fights broke out among them, also. I noticed it was only the guys actually fighting, though. The women just sat on the sidelines and watched.
