Feel free to share your photos and other birding-related content here. If a photo you post isn't yours, please credit the original creator! Additionally, it would be appreciated if the location of the sighting and a date were given when a photo or question is posted. You do not have to give the precise location, something like "Northern Idaho, June 2023" or even "North-Western US, June 2023" suffices.

I'm not 100% on age, but I'm guessing a younger Cardinal (lemmy.world)

I shall call him Patches. Sadly, it's a name he will likely outgrow soon if he hasn't already.

A9II + Tamron 150-500 + heavy crop (the bird was ~50 feet away)

I'm guessing they mate in spring? I took this photo about three or four weeks ago. Not sure how long gestation takes for Cardinals.
