Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis)

This pretty lady is the female of one of the two pairs of Cardinals I have coming to the backyard feeders now. Since I have been throwing out some seed each morning for the ground feeders like the Juncos the cardinals have been coming around more often and feeding on the thrown out food and the seed that spills from the feeders. I didn't realize that they preferred ground feeding but these seem to.
