red beauty

Its a cardinal for sure.... not too clear tho..my camera moved while trying to get this shot from the kitchen window. 

during these winter months we try to keep the bird feeders filled to the brim, and suet cakes too.  Lately we've been noticing an animal of some kind getting the suet cakes out of the feeding cages and dragging them off.  We'll probably have to wrap & tie a wire around the cage so that stinker (whatever it may be) doesn't take off with it.
