A Bird Watcher's Guide to Cardinals

by Therese Shea

Overview

Cardinals are some of the most recognizable birds. Males are a vibrant red, and both males and females sport feathered crests on their head. There’s a lot to discover about these small songbirds. Their urge to nourish their young is so strong that they’ve been observed feeding other birds and even goldfish! This volume, written in the style of a young bird watcher’s journal, is an entertaining way to learn about the behaviors and life cycle of the cardinal. Essential science vocabulary, interesting facts, and beautiful photographs will enchant readers and inspire them to bird-watch themselves.
