northern cardinal male at Lake Meyer Park IA 653A6585
One of the sweetest nature sounds our ears get to hear now in late winter when we go for an early morning walk is the northern cardinal's wonderful whistled song. These colorful guys stand up at the top of the tallest trees around and start whistling away with a very cheerful tune. Most times these carolers will be calling out "what cheer, what cheer, what, what what" or "birdy, birdy birdy" as those notes carry far across the countryside and hopefully hit the ears of female cardinals eager to find a good husband.
