No excitement accompanies the sight of a cardinal

 

 

Why is there no excitement surrounding the sighting of a northern cardinal on the seed bell? Because northern cardinals are year around residents of southern Ontario. There is a reason these birds have northern in their name.

To stay warm over the winter northern cardinals have evolved some very sophisticated techniques but some, like shivering, are very energy intensive. For this reason, putting out seed bells all winter is appreciated.
