Northern Cardinal

The Cardinal.  Quite common bird, and is in fact Ohio's state bird.  I have 2 families of Cardinals that live in a couple of pine trees in my backyard and are frequent visitors to the feeder.


The male is colorful.  The female less so, and is a brownish color.  The beaks are roughly the same color and so is their general body shape.

They are quite squeamish, so I had to be careful when I photographed these as they would tend to fly off with the slightest movement.

The sound this bird makes is here.
