Northern Cardinal :
The male Northern Cardinal is perhaps responsible for getting more people to
open up a field guide than any other bird. They're a perfect combination of
familiarity, conspicuousness, and style: a shade of red you can't take your
eyes off. Even the brown females sport a sharp crest and warm red accents.
Cardinals don't migrate and they don't molt into a dull plumage, so they're
still breathtaking in winter's snowy backyards. In summer, their sweet whistles
are one of the first sounds of the morning.
