Northern Cardinal - HD Mini-Documentary

Mini-documentary about the Northern Cardinal. It's song look and habitat.

Transcription: "With a crested head, black mask around its eyes and brilliant red body, the Northern Cardinal is one of the most famous birds in North America.

It is a mid-sized songbird that lives in wooded areas and has a distinct orange beak shaped perfectly for eating seeds which make up the majority of its diet.

The Northern Cardinal does not migrate. It is a year-round resident whose range extends from southern Canada to Mexico on the eastern half of the continent.

The plumage of the males feathers is much brighter and more vibrant than that of the females it is trying to attract.

It learns its song, so the tune of the cardinal will vary by region.

This beautiful bird is named after the cardinals in the Roman Catholic Church who wore red robes and caps.

It is the state bird in seven states - North Carolina, West Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Virginia."

I love birds and i would have to say the cardinal is one of my favorites.

It's always a treat to see these swooping around, eating the seeds laid out in the yard. ^_^

Great bird. Red Belly Woodpecker is still my favorite bird.

I happen to be a novice bird-watcher. Out of all the wild birds in the U.S., the cardinal is my favorite. I even have a decorative night-lite of a cardinal on a dogwood tree.

Thank you for posting the wonderful footage !

I hear these birds a lot. I love hearing their clear and cute songs and their chips during aggressive encounters. These are one of the four favorite birds I like along with the Black-Capped Chickadee.

I absolutely LOVE cardinals! God created a real masterpiece in these birds! To me they are not only the most beautiful of all birds, they have the sweetest song, too! In fact, I think you should have included some footage of one singing, but you did an excellent job of capturing their colors and form, and I like how you managed to get both a male and a female in one view at 0:30-0:38.

On behalf of cardinal lovers everywhere, I thank you for presenting this film to us!

I grew up with them, so sometimes its hard to imagine that people live without them.

I see a lot of these birds in my front & backyard almost everyday where I live in Connecticut. One time I saw a cardinal family with its baby.

This videos of yours remind me of my youth in CT. During the winter, I'd spend hours watching the variety of birds at the feeder. Thanks for posting.

That's funny, all your videos with beer drinking men and then this one full of harmony and singing lovely birds!

[BirdsNation]

[ocelotlnezahualcoytl]

I always hear this bird everyday. such lovely birds :>

[rocknloom]

Seeing a cardinal means that your beloved is visiting you.

Cardinals are really great birds. I think the female is actually more interesting to look at with their light red/pinkish color matching well with their light brown colors.

[JamesKnott]

That would be great. Good luck with your project.

[JamesKnott]

Thanks a lot for the feedback. They are definitely cool birds!
