Description
The female cardinal is mostly tan and brown, with warm tones of red splashed on the wings and tail, and decorating the tip of the crest. Her black mask isn’t as large or pronounced as his, but she still sports that bright orange bill. The light brown color (with red highlights) of the slightly smaller female cardinals provides camouflage to protect her from predators such as larger birds and cats as well as from egg thieves such as chipmunks, blue jays, crows, and snakes. Even with the absence of the bright red plumage, the female is a striking, colorful bird.
Two professional sports teams and several universities have made the cardinal their mascot. With its bold colors and fierce territorial nature, it’s not hard to see why.
Captured in Needham, Massachusetts
