Summary[edit]
.jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | I was lucky I got the Cardinal against a clear background when I did. (see previous picture). The bird soon moved and came in front of a cluster of leaves and was obscured partially, not good considering the small size of the bird and the fact that I only had my 18-140 lens on. Oh well. Cardinals, in the family Cardinalidae, are passerine birds found in North and South America. They are also known as cardinal-grosbeaks and cardinal-buntings. The South American cardinals in the genus Paroaria are placed in another family, the Thraupidae. They are robust, seed-eating birds with strong bills. The family ranges in size from the 12-cm, 11.5-g and up orange-breasted bunting to the 25-cm, 85-g black-headed saltator. They are typically associated with open woodland. The sexes usually have distinctive appearances. The northern cardinal type species was named by colonists for the male's red crest, reminiscent of a Catholic cardinal's biretta.
