<p><b>Northern Cardinal</b><br> <i>Cardinalis cardinalis</i> <p><b>Size:</b> 8-9" (20-22.5 cm) <p><b>Female:</b> buff brown bird with tinges of red on crest and wings, a black mask and large red bill <p><b>Male:</b> red bird with a black mask extending from face down to chin and throat, large red bill and crest <p><b>Juvenile:</b> same as female, but with a blackish gray bill <p><b>Nest:</b> cup; female builds; 2-3 broods per year <p><b>Eggs:</b> 3-4; bluish white with brown markings <p><b>Incubation:</b> 12-13 days; female and male incubate <p><b>Fledging:</b> 9-10 days; female and male feed young <p><b>Migration:</b> non-migrator <p><b>Food:</b> seeds, insects, fruit; comes to seed feeders <p><b>Compare:</b> Cedar Waxwing (pg. 133) has a small dark bill. Female Cardinal appears similar to juvenile Cardinal. Look for female’s bright red bill. <p><b>Stan’s Notes:</b> A familiar backyard bird. Look for male feeding female during courtship. Male feeds young of first brood by himself while female builds a second nest. Their name comes from the Latin word <i>cardinalis</i>, which means “important.” Very territorial during spring, it will fight its own reflection in a window. Non-territorial in winter, they gather in small flocks of up to 20 birds. Both male and female sing and can be heard any time of year. Listen for their “whata-cheer-cheer-cheer” territorial call in spring.</p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p>
