Northern Cardinal

In NORTHERN CARDINAL, part of a unique new series of illustrated bird guides, the lesser-known aspects of this popular species' life in the wild are examined--where it finds food, how it communicates, how it finds a mate and builds a nest. Brilliant full-color images by top nature photographers and text by a leading ornithologist present a detailed picture of the cardinal's natural history. Foraging, fledging, feather patterns, molting, the mechanics of flight, and more are covered in word and image, as are a host of hard-to-observe activities.
