I like all birds but the Cardinal is one of my favorites. We don't have them here in California but we had a lot of them in Wisconsin and upstate NY.

I've only seen one live Cardinal in my life, and that's when we were visiting my wife's relatives in Tenn., but we do have Starlings out here. I agree, they are robbers and thieves. We have some bird houses for smaller birds, and those Starlings try to run them off, but they can't get through the hole into the bird house. Where ever the Starlings nest they make a terrible mess, worse than swallows in my opinion.

I hear what your saying. The Starlings have been roosting in our woodshed, I'm burning as much poop as I am wood.

Oh ok,yeah starlings are native here too,I just haven't seen them around..With the help from some treasurenet members I found out it is a North American Mockingbird.It's a mean little devil too,it chases after every other bird that comes around, even the big bluejays.I don't even see the morning crows come around anymore.
