Description
"Building A Home" by Debbie Oppermann. This female Red Cardinal was taking a break on the arbor, as she had been constantly going in and out of the Spruce Tree where she was building her nest in early spring. It took her about a week to finish the new home. The Northern Red Cardinal is a mid sized North American songbird that has a distinctive crest on the head and a mask on the face which is black in the male and grey in the female. The male is a vibrant red, while the female is a dull red brown shade. The pairs mate for life and stay together year round. This image was taken in Guelph Ontario Canada.
