A Blackbird looking for seed.....

     I have been chasing crows away for nearly 2 weeks.  All my efforts have paid off, though, because some of the song birds are starting to come back.  I even have had some of the bark butter eaten.
    My blackbird never left (hehe) even though the crows would dive at it.  This cardinal was standing guard while a female flew around, got some seed, and nervously flew away, only to return again.  I hope the birds get comfortable again.  I really enjoyed watching them.
