Beautiful pictures and your birds are so lucky that you take good care of them.
We are having a heat wave. I live 20 miles south of the Canadian border in NY and it is 58 degrees right now. I just fed my birds and squirrels in a short sleeve shirt. My husband just brought in some fresh dill about 3 inches high and there is fresh parsley in protected areas.
We have had light snow in Nov. and think the lowest it as been is 18 so far this winter. We are a zone 4.
No one can remember a Dec. like this.
Merry Christmas to all, Happy Holiday too!

I believe it's territorial. A neighbor has that. One male will sit in a tree and wait for others
