Eating Poke: Male Northern Cardinal






Some time ago I posted a Tufted Titmouse posing in a poke plant. Eileen asked in a comment if any birds eat poke berries. Here is your proof Eileen; Cardinals do!

Normally a bright and flashy red, this Cardinal’s more splotchy and subdued colors are caused by the molt which normally takes place from late summer to early autumn.

  4. Great capture! He looks slightly disgruntled, like he didn't really want his picture taken.
