what kind of bird is this Rebecca?
It’s a Northern cardinal. The female isn’t the bright red color that the male cardinal is.
thanks Rebecca.I’ve never seen a Cardinal.Love the bright red!
I love those female Northern cardinals just as much as the males. They do have a bit of both sweetness and steeliness, don’t they?
They definitely do! 🙂
And they always say the female cardinal’s plumage is blah … these ladies are beautiful. P.S. – I love the head-tilt photo.
When the sun hits them just right, the beautiful colors in the female do seem to pop out.
Beautiful captures of one of the favorite female birds!
Mine too! Thanks, Donna!
