Red Cardinal Bird Perched in Nature

A male northern cardinal stands out with its striking red plumage and characteristic black face mask. The bird is poised, its crest slightly raised, and its keen eye focused. Its sturdy beak and strong feet are clearly visible as it rests on an unseen perch. The rich color of its feathers is the main focus against the dark background.
