“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

“For me the saddest thing about Father Z’s blog is how cruel it is.... It’s astonishing to me that a priest could traffic in such cruelty and hatred.”

New comers to the feeder.
I suspect they are both recovering from migration and also getting ready for nesting.

Flocks of robins here! The first sure sign that spring is just around the corner – and how ready I am for it!
No birds in Philly other than Canadian Geese and Gulls. They stay all year.
Good amaranth red on that Cardinal. Gamarelli’s could use him as a color check.
Father, I know it’s Lent, but they want what was in the other feeder!
Father, Good of you to share more photos, especially for those of us waiting for our little feathered-friends to return.
Excerpt from Poetry of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Birds of Passage
THE SERMON OF ST. FRANCIS
…Around Assisi’s convent gate
The birds, God’s poor who cannot wait,
From moor and mere and darksome wood
Came flocking for their dole of food…
Dear Father, may I suggest that you lower the demand for commercial feed by planting a mix of sunflowers somewhere nearby? They will be self-perpetuating after the first sowing. Mine attract a wide range of birds and amaze small children, as well as providing cut flowers for the vases in front of the altar at church.
Evelyn: Not a bad idea! I must discuss that and see what can be done.
Father Z – do you clean your feeders inbetween fillings? People like Martha Stewart always advise doing that, but I always wonder if people actually do and/or if it’s really necessary?
I wonder, too–when I am at home where I have feeders set up, I must confess to infrequent cleanings, although i do keep the area around swept.
Thanks for the photos, Fr.Z–I really enjoy the birds!
Do you get any BLue Birds? In the back yard, visible from the sacristy, we have two blue bird houses. Our dear parish secretary has a worm farm in the anteroom and we feed our boys and girls mealworms. Is there a way I can post a picture in a combox?

You worry more when it’s warm and wet.
I’m so jealous that you have cardinals where you are. I moved from Indiana to Washington, whre cardinals are sorely lacking, and I miss them like crazy…
Thank you Father. I love watching the birds at your feeder.
One question: has the zcam tipped a little lately? it seems everything is at a little bit of a slant – I can’t tell if it is the angle of the shot or not, but it seems a little tipsy.
