Cardinal

You can see the little red bird on the porch rail. The cylindrical shape above is the birdfeeder, the birds like to take seeds from it, then set the seed on the porch rail to get the hulls open.

This pic also shows my first attempt at using a caulking gun to replace the line along the back of the brown splashguard there, and the line between the white windowsill and the yellow wall, where the sugar ants were coming in. The caulk has not deterred the ants a whit, they just come in higher up the window screen. Still, it looks a lot nicer, all white and clean and new.
