Female Northern Cardinal

The insects are finally starting to emerge. A few Cardinal Beetles, Large Red Damselflies and a first Hairy Dragonfly of the year.

I wasn't paying attention behind me and didn't notice the rainbow for a while. I was fortunate to be able to get to these cardinal flowers for a foreground before the rainbow disappeared. Happy Wednesday!

The juvenile cardinals in Crescent Bend Nature Park are starting to develop their color.

Funny to watch these cardinals. One comes at a time. I keep hoping they will both land and eat together on this feeder but not so far.

These Cardinals are very skittish. It's hard to get in position for a shot before they take off.

Premier coup d'oeil déstabilisant mais il s'agit d'un jeune et le bec va se reformer...

Le bec de l'oiseau est semblable aux ongles, il repousse et il s'use.

Rendu adulte, il sera tout beau ! : ))

The red-headed cardinal beetle is a medium-sized beetle found in woodland, along hedgerows, and in parks and gardens. The adults are present during the summer and can often be found sunbathing on flowers or tree trunks. They are predators and feed on other insects flying around the flowers on which they are perched. The larvae are flattened in appearance, which enables them to live under loose bark where they feed on the larvae of other insects.

The winter flocks of cardinals are dispersing as spring approaches. Although these birds are common in their range, they always turn heads. Our beautiful world, pass it on.

I pulled this one from the archives. A nice Northern Cardinal with some bright back-light but a nice eye and beak. Always nice to get a little color with these guys!

The male and female Northern Cardinal are a nice splash of colour in the bare trees.

One of the most popular birds, the cardinal is the official state bird of no fewer than seven eastern states. Abundant in the Southeast, it has been extending its range northward for decades, and it now brightens winter days with its color and whistled song as far north as Southeastern Canada.

Male cardinals are brilliant red all over, with a reddish bill and black face immediately around the bill. Females are brown overall with warn reddish tinges in the wings, tail, and crest. They have the same black face and red-orange bill.
