The Male Cardinal gets a lot of the glory, but my favorite is the Female Cardinal! (Although lacking the brilliant red plumage of the male, the female cardinal has an elegant beauty all her own, with a warm, buffy tan color over her back, breast, and sides; red-orange on the wings, tail, and crown; and a blackish “mask.” Female cardinals also have a crest and a chunky red-orange bill, traits they share with males.

We had rain on and off yesterday and the birds were very active. This beauty flew in and posed for a picture and we thank her for that!
