Cardinal

The female Cardinal isn't as bright as the male. But she seems to be the smarter of the two.

The Male is one of my favorite birds.

Female

This one was hanging around the yard and I thought it was the ugliest cardinal I had ever seen until I learned that this was a juvenile Cardinal and hadn't gotten it's adult feathers.

This is a juvenile female I believe.

Sharing the feeder with a Dove.

This Juvenile  male was interested in the seven year locust.

Another picture of the juvenile Cardinal, a female.

I was so facinated with them as I hadn't had any juvenile Cardinals in my yard before. 

The Male in his full color.
