Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) perched on a birdfeeder in a tree

The Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis), often referred to as a Red Bird, is a common sight perched on birdfeeders hanging from trees in southwestern Pennsylvania, USA. Its vibrant red plumage makes it easy to spot. Male cardinals are a vivid red with a bold black mask that extends from their beak to their throat. They have a crested head with a pointed tuft, adding an elegant touch, and their thick beak is a bright orange-red hue.
