A common bird in the eastern half of the United States and Mexico. A non-migrating species so revered for its year-round vibrant red that it is honored as the state bird in seven different states, including North Carolina. I find the females to be quite lovely as well. She is also unique in that she is one of the few female North American songbirds that sing.



I love cardinals. We have a nesting pair that raise a family in the trees across the street from us. It’s been fun watching the young one’s fly. Excellent photos, Jennifer!
