132 Male Northern Cardinal Profie

One of the best examples of the male having more color than the female. This happens a lot in nature. The male is smaller, more slender, more colorful, and attracts the most attention. But, when a would be predator comes near, the it is the male that goes into action. The bright color is used to attract the predator in a different direction. Slender so it can fly faster and not get hung up in the little branches, smaller so it can fit through smaller spaces. One of the birds that seems to be taken for granted a lot in its area. Next time you see one, stop and watch for a few seconds or minutes - they are quite interesting.
