Northern Cardinal - Cardinalis cardinalis Sorry for the poor quality, but it was snowing hard and my ISO was too low. I just couldn&#039;t believe that this bird was sitting in the snow like this. I thought it would have sought shelter in denser shrubs or the spruce tree that&#039;s next to this mulberry tree, but it seemed content in its current spot. <br /> <br /> Habitat: Rural yard Cardinalis,Cardinalis cardinalis,Geotagged,Northern Cardinal,United States,Winter,cardinal,mulberry,snow Click/tap to enlarge

    My theory would be that it's feeding pressure, they lose a lot of weight in cold weather. Posted one year ago
