This is Episode 51. Our bird of interest today is the Northern Cardinal, Cardinalis cardinalis.

This species is widespread across the eastern and southern US. It\\u2019s so well-known and loved that it\\u2019s the state bird for 7 states\\u2014more than any other species.

Northern Cardinals are among the most abundant birds in North America. They\\u2019re familiar denizens of backyards that visit feeders all year long. So it shouldn\\u2019t be surprising to hear that ornithologists have done a lot of research on this abundant and conspicuous species.
