Photograph of a male cardinal perched on a brown tree branch with out of focus branches, leaves, and an overcast sky in the background. The branch runs vertically through the center of the frame. The view in from below looking up at the branch which is in front of and partially obscuring the cardinal's underside. The bird's body, vertical in the frame, is facing to the left with its head turned to the right in profile 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.
