Northern Cardinals Flock In Bunches To Cornell Feeders At Dusk

Watch at least half a dozen Northern Cardinals visit the feeders at the Cornell Lab.

Watch up to six Northern Cardinals gather at the Cornell Lab FeederWatch Cam during this winter evening in Ithaca, New York. While they can visit feeders at any time of day, Northern Cardinals are often the first to arrive in the morning and the last to linger before dusk. You can attract them to backyard feeders across their range with sunflower seeds, cracked corn, or peanut hearts.
