The Northern Cardinal is one of the most brilliantly coloured songbirds in southEastern Canada,. The bright red male stands out against white snow and green trees. This medium-sized songbird isn't shy and the Cardinal can often be seen chasing other birds away from feeders, even spending hours pecking at its own reflection to expel an imaginary intruder from its breeding territory.Females resemble the males, but lack the vivid red colouring. They are mostly grayish-brown with a reddish tint in their wings and tail feathers. Both have prominent crests and dark face-masks surrounding the strong coral-coloured beak, which is used to break open seeds and fruits.
