Dove guardare

Consigli sul campo

1. Listen for their song. Their loud, clear whistle is often heard before they are seen, especially in spring and summer.
2. Look in dense vegetation. Cardinals prefer to stay hidden in shrubs and thickets, so scan these areas carefully.
3. Check bird feeders. They are frequent visitors to feeders, particularly for black oil sunflower seeds. Early morning and late afternoon are good times.
4. Be patient and still. Cardinals can be shy. Remaining quiet and still will increase your chances of a sighting.
5. Look for movement in leaf litter. They often forage on the ground, scratching through leaves for seeds and insects.

Migrazione

Non-migratory (resident) throughout most of its range. Some northern populations may make short-distance movements south during harsh winters, but generally, they remain in their breeding territories year-round.
