Popular Bird, Northern Cardinal


Northern Cardinals, sp. name “ Cardinalis Cardinalis”
Description:
Medium size songbird, male species have bright red body and wings with bits of black on the wing edges, conical shape beak, masked face in black.
Females: Back and wings is pale green with tinges of red, chest and belly a pale orange, red crown. Males and females have the distinctive rising crown and black masked face.
They are our most assiduous visitors of our feeders, there’re times when I count more than twelve
feeding or waiting their turn to eat.
The cardinals are one of my favorite birds! :)
Very popular bird, well known and easy to identify by almost every one. I could bet money that at one point or another most persons have seen a Cardinal, male or female.
