Over the past few years, when I had my feeder out, I noticed that the cardinals preferred to visit at dusk, when most of the other birds head flown back to their nests (and the lighting was terrible for pictures - brats! LOL!). I wouldn't be at all surprised to find they were lovers, not fighters.

I only heard about the "seeing a cardinal is a message from a loved one" aspect about a decade or so ago, and while it doesn't pop into my head each time I see them, I find it does at the times I need it most. I hope the same happens for you.

And thank you so much!
