Description
I capture this in my yard. We had baby cardinal birds hatch and are starting to fly. this one was so cute. I am thinking this is going to be a female.The male Northern Cardinal is perhaps responsible for getting more people to open up a field guide than any other bird. They are a perfect combination of familiarity, conspicuousness, and style: a shade of red you cant take your eyes off. Even the brown females sport a sharp crest and warm red accents. Cardinals dont migrate and they dont molt into a dull plumage, so they are still breathtaking in winters snowy backyards. In summer, their sweet whistles are one of the first sounds of the morning.Scientists have described at least 16 different calls for the Northern Cardinal, but the one you will hear most commonly is a loud, metallic chip. Cardinals make this call when warning off intruders to their territory, when predators are near, as females approach their nests, and by both sexes as they carry food to the nest or when trying to get nestlings to leave the nest. When one member of a pair is about to feed the other, either bird may make a softer took note.
