Rare Cardinal at Bird Feeder - 01/13/15 03:31 AM
I have seen this cardinal at my bird feeder several times in the last few weeks. This is the best photo I have been able to get to-date. It's head is white with a red top notch. Hope to get a better photo. After researching the Internet. It describes this as a rare bilateral gynandromorph condition which means the bird is half female and half male resulting in the color phase. Has anyone else seen one like this?
