Two Cardinals roaming around looking for food
Known as redbirds, the males are a vibrant red color. And the female is a reddish olive color, they mostly feed on grains but also go for insects and fruit. They have an interesting courtship where the male will feed the female grains or seeds as a sign of courtship behavior.
I look forward to checking out the other species one day, as they have other colorings. Such as ones in Tuscon Arizona have gray patches.

I really enjoy seeing this little red birds, they stick out exempt in the fall when the leaves are similar colors to them. This is a male, as by the bright colors its easily noticeable.
He jumped down and roamed around looking for worms and bugs, It just rained and many ground living bugs are flooded from their home. So the birds find this a good opportunity to search for them while they are out in the open.
Ah I think he got one, a little blurry though..
A female shows up a few minutes later, and checks out the area as well. Looking for food to eat as well.
Their call is unique, I can usually tell its a Cardinal. The males mark their territory with these calls so maybe thats why I hear them.. Calling out to all that this is its area.
I am guessing they are mating pairs, no idea where they live but I see a lot of nests in the bare trees. Since its the winter most of our trees have dropped their foliage leaving their nests to be seen in plain sight.

thanks @nevlu123 for the animation
Good capture. Cardinals are my favorite birds.
@cosmiccrimes
thanks, its hard getting photos of birds so glad they came out pretty good. I like them too, seeing their red in a sea of green is cool.
I never could get a good shot of them.
I love seeing cardinals in winter.
@momzillanc
Yeah I think they represent the winter, I see them in snowy pictures all the time.
@solominer I find it odd with birds and fish the males are prettier than the females, I wonder if that is why human females feel they need to wear makeup. So they will be better looking than the males. lol
@myjob
Yeah its interesting evolution made that happen, but im sure there where environmental reasons that caused it for both fish and birds. Its hard to say exactly why, and I think alot of women differ on reasons why they do or do not wear make up. Hah guys try to be flashy too, so I see both sides doing it.

@ludmila.kyriakou
Yeah we have them in the Eastern United States. You dont have them in Greece?
I do not know, did not see. But I think not.
I live not in Greece, but in Cyprus :-)))
Here the vegetation is poor ...
Only in the mountains there are a lot of trees.
