the Northern Cardinal is familiar sight at feeders for most of us east of the Rockies. Our state bird handsome bird is a cheerful sight on a rainy afternoon.
Did you know that the Northern Cardinal has even been spotted farther west in places like Southern California, Arizona and Hawaii?
Just a reminder that there are many species of birds that we might consider “common” in our own yards. Yet, they are a rarity and a very precious find in the eyes of others.

What “common” species do you still enjoy seeing frequently?
Are there any “common” species out of your home area that you wish you could see more often?
Mine are Stellers Jay’s and Magpies.
Only had the opportunity to photograph them once when visiting Colorado a few years ago.
