Cardinals on A Bird Feeder At The Brooker Creek Preserve

These two birds are a male and female cardinal eating from a bird feeder at the brooker creek preserve. They can be very vocal at times and quiet at other times. The male is the darker red bird, while the female has the brownish orange coloration. The male is far more confident than the female, far less skittish or fearful than the female. Typically they are found together, not always on the same branch or right next to each other, they move from area to area as a pair. Approximately 6 to 8 inches in length with a similar wing span, they’re very agile birds. The cardinal is very prevalent in and around the Brooker Creek Preserve, as well as many other environments of coastal Florida.
