Rather than sit right out in the open where the wind could hit him full force today, dad cardinal decided to stay back in the brush and lay low.

Brand new feathers ready for winter time :)

Le Cardinal doit son nom à la couleur rouge du plumage du mâle qui rappelle les vêtements rouges des cardinaux. Il fréquente les bois, les jardins et les marais.

Le Cardinal rouge est un oiseau chanteur de taille moyenne avec une huppe caractéristique sur la tête et un masque facial noir chez le mâle et gris chez la femelle. Le mâle est rouge vif tandis que la femelle est d’un brun rougeâtre terne.

Le Cardinal rouge est principalement granivore mais se nourrit également d’insectes et de fruits.

Le mâle est territorial et défend son territoire par le chant.

Pendant la parade nuptiale, le mâle nourrit la femelle bec à bec.

La femelle pond de deux à quatre fois par année et trois à quatre œufs sont pondus par couvée.

She is very shy but if you see her then her lifetime mate is close at hand. Average life span is three years but many tagged ones have found to be alive ten years and longer. A wonderful bird to have around.

Handsome Mr. Cardinal showing off that beautiful red coloring.

I hope everyone enjoys this image! :D

Northern Cardinal up close

from this angle, I saw a square and a triangle !

The cardinals have not been bringing any little ones to the yard to feed. By now, I would think they should have a baby or two. I saw them gather nesting material weeks ago.

I like how this one turned out. I don't think I've ever posted a bird photo with lighting like this. I didn't change the background in editing. The Cardinal was just in strong direct light and the background was shadowed. Photographed in Maryland earlier today.
