<div dir="auto"><font face="sans-serif">Last year the number of Cardinals coming to my feeders seemed to decline significantly. This Summer, I felt the number was rebounding and now I have 10 or 12 -- maybe more if I really paid attention to their physical
differences. </font></div>

<div dir="auto"><font face="sans-serif">I have 4 feeders -- three primarily used by the Cardinals (one is a vertical tube largely used by Chickadees and Nuthatches) and the Cardinals are often lined up in the nearby branches waiting their turn.</font></div>
