sharing

[low_delta]

Yesterday we had a cardinal who didn't want to share the platform feeder. He kept chasing the house finches away. But then a red-winged blackbird showed up. I would have thought blackbirds were higher in the pecking order, but the cardinal fought him. Or tried to. Cardinal was mad but blackbird didn't care. I was amused.

Today a cardinal didn't have any trouble sharing with some finches.

It varies. Sometimes mine share, other times not. Here is the official pecking order:
