bird of the week: Northern Cardinal

The Northern Cardinal is one of the most common Songbirds in North America and lives in almost every state. They are the state bird for Illinois,Indiana,Kentucky, North Carolina,Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia. They are a favorite at our house and even my littlest brothers can identify them. We all get excited to see them in our yard.
