Backyard Birding Journal: Alarmed Cardinals
© Photographer: William Wise | iNat Observation: 66421600 - Northern Cardinal; Clarke County, Georgia. January 15, 2018.
Monday, January 15, 2018 - Around 5 PM I am sitting next to a campfire in my backyard watching the birds. As I relax, I hear the loud laughing call of a Pileated Woodpecker off across the back meadow. Going up to the fence line I search my iPhone for the call of the Pileated. As the tiny speakers project it across the field, I am almost immediately dive-bombed by two highly agitated male cardinals! Bright red flashes bolt around me as a total of five irritated Cardinals (three males, two females) show up!

How about that! Thank you!
A couple days ago I heard agitated crows calling, and as I approached, saw they were mobbing a hawk, which then took flight, the crows in hot pursuit until it left the territory. Ruth
@grinnin So true, crows are always the best indicators that something cool is going on. They've led me to Horned Owls, snakes, and all kinds of raptors. Gotta love those vocal corvids! Thanks for reading and commenting. William
Crows are smart!
Pretty coolio!
