Cardinals at the mealworm feeder!

I couldn't believe it today when I looked at the mealworm feeder to see what was there... anticipating a wren, titmouse, nuthatch or bluebird, there was a female cardinal chowing down on mealworms. Plenty of seed in all the seed feeders, but she chose mealworms!
Anyone else seen this?
AND I"M NOT MAKING IT UP JUST TO START A FIGHT!

Free high quality protein . . . who'd turn their nose up at it!

Quite likely she'll be taking them off to feed to some chicks, they need insect food in their first few days until their stomachs get strong enough to digest seeds.

LOL Judy! I've seen photos of them taking mealworms.

I saw a lot of unusual feeding when little ones were waiting.

I'll bet that's it! Good to know I'm not losing my mind... at least according to you two!!!
