JUL 29, birdlore: northern cardinal

 


Authors' Note: A male cardinal is seen in the video below, as it hops along a driveway. The songbird spends more time foraging on the ground, rather than in trees and shrubs. And although its diet, particularly items fed to nestlings, includes insects and other small animals, it is best known as a seed-eater, using its thick strong beak to break sunflower and safflower seeds.
