Interesting Fact: Northern Cardinals hop through low branches and forage on or near the ground. Cardinals commonly sing and preen from a high branch of a shrub. The distinctive crest can be raised and pointed when agitated or lowered and barely visible while resting. You typically see cardinals moving around in pairs during the breeding season, but in fall and winter they can form fairly large flocks of a dozen to several dozen birds.

  1. Heartfelt congratulations on your 4-year blogging anniversary! Thank you for the cute pictures, and thank you for your jokes – I crack up every time! Keep it going! 🙂

  4. Fantastic photo and visual composition. Plus, I have not heard that joke in years. Brings back good memories. Thanks!

  7. One of my favorite birds. The South Peachtree Creek PATH, where I walk a lot is a habitat for them, so I’ve had the opportunity to view and video them a good bit. I’ve noted at least eight or ten different sounds they make, male and female. I suspect they perch up high like that as a decoy, so predators flying overhead stay away from the nests.

  8. Nice! I have a cardinal near my home who taunts me. I’m glad someone is gettin photos of these beautiful birds.
