Northern Cardinals,
Cardinalis cardinalis, are common birds in the eastern half of the United States, the Great Lakes region of Canada, and much of Mexico. Their crests are up when they are more alert and down smooth against their heads when they feel safe. They eat insects, fruit, and seeds. We fill the feeders with black oil sunflower seeds, and have a dozen or more Cardinals here all the time. They do not migrate.
The female Cardinal is not as colorful as the male, making it more difficult for predators to see her in her nest. And they are still very much wild birds even though they see us often and know we provide the food!
Have a blessed day!
