Things I learned this week...



This week I learned that Cardinals live in groups of 8 or 12 during the winter, but during the spring they are territorial. The male Cardinal feeds the babies while the female prepares the next nest.

I also learned that Red Squirrels are territorial and many don't survive because of this (they don't find their own territory.)  This being said a mama red squirrel can gift a portion of her territory to her child.

There are ripples in the natural order of things...

...that birds know in the scarcity of winter to work and live together, but in the plenty and 'work'  of spring and summer, to create their own space.

...that squirrels can be giving.
