Northern Cardinal (female)
Look for the reddish bill
What to look for: tan-to-brown bird with a black mask and a large reddish bill; juvenile has a blackish-gray bill
Where you'll find them: wide variety of habitats, including backyards and parks; usually likes thick vegetation
Calls and songs: calls “whata-cheer-cheer-cheer” in spring; both female and male sing and give chip notes all year
On the move: short flights from cover to cover, often landing on the ground
What they eat: loves sunflower seeds and enjoys insects, fruit, peanuts and suet; visits seed feeders
Nest: cup of twigs and bark strips, often low in a tree
Eggs, chicks, and childcare: 3–4 speckled bluish-white eggs; Mom and Dad share the incubating and feeding duties
Spends the winter: doesn’t migrate; gathers with other cardinals and moves around to find good sources of food
Stan's Cool Stuff
Cardinals are sunbathers! Sometimes they stretch out in the sun, spreading their wings and fanning their tails. They are the first to arrive at feeders in the morning and the last to leave before dark. Females sing as loud as the males—only a few bird species do this.
