34 Northern Cardinal

• A group of Northern Cardinals is Called a: College / Conclave / Deck / Radiance / Vatican.
• This fellow was feeding on Willow's and Lily's feeder outside the house.  
• The males are very showy but I like the coloration of the females.  The brighter the male the greater chance of mating.

•  These birds eat seeds and fruit.  They hop on the ground rather than walk.
• They won't be found in climates greater than a # 6. Meaning they wont be found on the prairie.
• I was very excited to find this bird during our trip to Nova Scotia.  Big thanks to Nanny and Willow. Nanny has been doing all the photos for the blog except the ones I have had to pull from the net.  Without her photos we would have a very difficult time identifying any bird.
