POTD 8/20/23

August 20, 2023  •  1 Comment

CARDINAL ON THE WAY - When it leaves the nest, a young Northern Cardinal has a dark bill without any bright color. A few weeks later the dark color will have faded and the bill becomes bright orange-red like the adults. This immature Cardinal is just starting to get his adult bill color.

Nice photo. I've looked at birds all my life and never saw an immature cardinal.
