Known for their brilliant red plumage and enchanting songs, these birds are year-round residents across many eastern states and are often seen in backyards and gardens. Male cardinals are particularly noted for their vivid red color, while females boast a more subdued shade of brown with warm red accents. Cardinals prefer habitats near dense thickets where they can easily find food and shelter. Interestingly, unlike many migratory species, cardinals typically remain within a tight radius throughout the year, enlivening their surroundings with color and song across all seasons.
