We saw a cardinal at Apache lake a few weeks ago. The guy was so red he stood out like a sore thumb in all the green, blue and brown scenery.

But there are no Cardinals in Arizona...that just doesn't make sense!

I have a male/female pair that shows up regularly at the backyard feeder

and I live at Cactus and Tatum

In the midwest, they seem almost tame, but here they are a pretty shy bird in suburbia

if you know their call, you can hear them all the time

very true..those of us living in the chicagoland area see them often. yes their brilliance can be seen from a distance. just yesterday while i was repairing my lawn i stopped for a few minutes to stare at a few that i saw....for those of you who care, it is the males that are the red ones...the females are brown.

I saw some cardinals up in Sedona about a month ago. Beautiful site.

Cardinals are beautiful birds but even here in the midwest I rarely see them I wish there were more.

I was thinking the same thing. I never realized how many we had up here until I recognized their call.

If you build it they will come.....go to your local Ace or wherever and buy a bird feeder....also buy some cardinal food...do not hang it where squirrels can get near it and the cardinals will come...one specie of cardinal will maigrate from two areas...chicago and st louis (joke)

Yes - that particular bird is one of the most rare of all. Although, this past year, bird watchers have reported an increase in sightings of this rare bird.

I've seen them twicw - both i Tucson - one pure red, even the beak, the other had black mixed in.
They both looked well fed - like teh Bidwills.
