Male cardinals are particularly notable for their vivid red plumage, which is used to attract mates. These birds are year-round residents in their range, which stretches from southeastern Canada through the eastern United States from Maine to Texas and south through Mexico. Aside from their beauty and song, cardinals are monogamous birds and are known for their protective behavior during mating season, when they are often seen defending their territory fiercely against any intruders.
