Northern Cardinal ( Female )

What season is it best to go on a trampoline?

Spring time

Interesting Fact: The brilliant red of a male Northern Cardinal calls attention to itself when males are around. You can also find cardinals by getting a sense of the warm, red-tinged brown of females – a pattern you can learn to identify in flight. Away from backyards, cardinals are still common but inconspicuous owing to their affinity for dense tangles. Listen for their piercing chip notes to find where they are hiding.

    Beautiful female cardinal – usually male cardinals are the ones who get their photos taken, but that crested head and beautiful brownish red colors are stunning as well.

      I do agree that the female cardinals don’t get that much recognition, and i think they are stunning the brown and red are amazing colors. Thank you very much for stopping by and sharing your thoughts with us. Happy Blogging! 🙂

    I’ve had a male cardinal flying into my windows for 2 years now. Sometimes he jumps up and down in front of the 2nd story window. I’m surprised he hasn’t killed himself by now.
