Cardinal (Richmondena cardinalis)
Color alone would make cardinals favored birds. Their striking plumage is easily seen and long remembered. Though mild mannered, they will sometimes chase each other from a feeding station in early winter, but by late winter and spring, they eat side by side.
Preferring vines, shrubbery, and thickets, they will live comfortably in city yards and parks.
Since cardinals do not migrate, they will remain in one yard the year round, as long as food is available. Often nesting in bushes beside busy sidewalks, or near enough to homes that their every move can be watched, they often have several broods a year.
Their usual song is a clear and ringing whistle. While no two birds seem identical in sound, their songs are distinctive, and once learned, will always bring pleasure.
These fine birds are now found in most states, and range north as far as southern Canada.
