Female Cardinal
Male Cardinal
Another local favorite bird of mine is the Northern Cardinal. The male Cardinal has a distinctive red plumage that sets him apart from all of the other birds in my neighborhood which makes him quite a "pretty boy"..
From my personal observations, I note that Cardinal couples appear to be very monogamous and close-knit. There is a Cardinal couple that frequents my backyard, and whenever I see one of them, the other one is sure to be seen nearby.
Ahh, we love cardinals! They're just so adorable.
ReplyDeleteA very merry Christmas to you and your family, Tommy!
Same to you Andrea! :-)
ReplyDeleteAhh..one of my favorites here in Michigan. When the babies are out of the nest, I see moms feeding them seed and bread crumbs I set out for them. I have watched them play in my yard sprinkler also, it's funny to see them enjoy it so much.
