Northern Cardinal


I see a lot of these guys. They are usually one of the first birds at my feeder in the mornings. Sometimes I will have 4 or 5 male and females in my tree at once. Females are a brown color with red on their crest and tails. Males are solid red with a black face mask. Both sexes have bright orange beaks.
These are nice birds to have in your yard as they will eat a lot of bugs that are detrimental to gardens.
