It’s the most wonderful time of year for cardinals! Well, not really, as they are here year-round. But their presence is more obvious in the winter months as they become the most colorful bird out there. The male is red, and the female is tan with red highlights. Right now, they are foraging for whatever berries they can find. If you want to see cardinals in your yard, put some sunflower seeds out for them, especially after a heavy snow. They’ll certainly be grateful. Photo by Steve Fisher
