NORTHERN CARDINAL

Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis)

Permanent resident.

Common and widespread in Ohio, cardinals are found wherever there are dense, shrub dominated habitats.

They are common residents of residential yards, parks, and other urban habitats.

This was the second most common species recorded in riparian counts along Big Darby Creek, exceeded in numbers only by the American robin.
