Did you know that the beautiful vibrant red cardinal is a male? I see them at my feeder in the very early mornings and later in the evening when there is less activity from other birds. The lady Cardinal is a lighter almost brownish color. Although I see them together I do not see them very close to each other.
Fun Facts:
Cardinals do not get their red-orange beak until fully grown
Males are territorially-marking out their territory with a song
During courtship males feed seeds to female beak to beak
