Cardinals are disgruntled

[darkcedars]

 A while back we cut back the forsythia.  The cardinals and sparrow army where very mad at me, because they liked to sit in it.  Then Friday we cut back the spirea. The cardinals had been hanging out there.  They were a bit agitated as we started to work there, so we looked all over for a nest.  There wasn't one.  After we finished they kept flying around the area and making a lot of noise. 

They're sort of settled on a branch of the cedar tree now. 

Today I also witnessed the grackles harassing a crow.
