Photograph of a male cardinal perched on an angled, gray branch with gray branches and out of focus green foliage in the background. The cardinal is in the far left frame and is in profile, facing right, leaving one eye visible. Male cardinals have brown legs and feet with grasping claws, red feathers with darker red on their back, wings, and tail, an orange beak, dark eyes, a black mask that wraps from top of the beak to its neck, and a crest on the top of their head that can be raised or lowered.
