Adventures of Bird Feeding

Our backyard has been covered with snow the entire year now. That means that the birds are busy visiting our feeders. Nature being what it is, occasionally songbirds look like a tasty meal themselves. My husband spotted a hawk in our yard and the cardinals disappeared; all but one, who was sitting in the neighbor's pear tree unaware of the danger. When he noticed the hawk he took off between our house and the neighbor's with the hawk in pursuit. We don't know what happened to the poor cardinal but haven't seen any feathers around. I guess hawks need to eat too, and with the snowcovered ground they can't find any rodents to eat.
When I stepped into our garage today I saw a creature fluttering around. It was a bird who must have flown into the garage and then the door was closed. I let the poor guy out because he must have been hungry. That happens when birds become too curious!
