Description
A male Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) is courting a female by feeding her seeds beak to beak.
Only a few female North American songbirds sing, but the female Northern Cardinal does, and often while sitting on the nest. This may give the male information about when to bring food to the nest. A mated pair shares song phrases, but the female may sing a longer and slightly more complex song than the male.

F/LK. Congratulations on all those features! Our cardinals do this but I've never been able to catch them at it when I have a camera at the ready - LOL. Such a terrific image!
