Eeeeck, a mouse . . .

I throw out some black sunflower seeds for the cardinal and family, but now attract a multitude of doves (instead). Only occasionally now will the cardinal come. I have noticed a quick streak of something else coming for the seeds, but now have the evidence ! He's going to carry the whole seed in his mouth to make a quick(er) getaway. His shiny coat must be a benefit of the seeds. Oh, da cute !
Our inside cat ignores him, but often can be heard chattering to the birds.
