Young Cardinal Observed
With the great abundance of cardinals in the Habitat, you would think that there would be a similar abundance of juveniles this time of year.  As posted earlier, the immature or first-year cardinals have neither their father's bright red coloring nor their mother's bright red-orange beak.  Rather the young cardinals are dull colored - gray or dark olive-brown - with a dark beak.
These two photos show the second young cardinal photographed in the Habitat.   The first appeared 169 blog posts ago.
