Red Gallery – Northern Cardinal | H.J. Ruiz

The Northern Cardinal is found throughout the eastern and central regions of America year round, due to the fact that they do not migrate. They tend to inhabit woodland edges and grassland landscapes with thickets and shrubbery they can hide and nest in. They are often found in close proximity to human habitation due in large part to the food that is provided to them in backyard bird feeders.

I so envy you for your ability to take photos of cardinals whenever you please, H.J. On the weekend, I caught one brief glimpse of a male in southeastern Colorado, but he did not sit out in the open long enough for me to capture him with my camera. I really need to visit a place where they are abundant. Your photos as beautiful, as always.

  You may have a better chance to photograph a Northern Cardinal in the East Coast. I’m lucky that the cardinals liked my backyard and decided to nest there ( 12 years, now). Thank you Tanja. 🙂
