My winter cardinals are a definite favourite up here in Ontario! We don't get much avian colour in the coldest months, and that brilliant red is a real picker-upper. Wish the Pyrrho's would drop by!
I agree with you, such a beautiful bird deserves to be called by its own name. However, I think who ever named it was stretching things a bit to go to the Greek language to describe the Pie-ruh-see-ya/Purr-hull-ock-see-ah.

I've seen photos of Cardinals against the snow and they look wonderful
Both such striking feathered friends. Beautiful photos and so interesting to learn what you have shared. Thankyou Dan!
Thanks Marylou
