Event Description: When you hear the word “cardinal,” you probably think of one of the most widely recognized and beloved birds in the eastern U.S. – the Northern Cardinal. This beautiful red bird is the official state bird for seven states, not to mention the namesake of many sports teams! But did you know there are other cardinals in the Americas? Some are in the same family as the Northern Cardinal and others are cardinals by name only.
The Pyrrhuloxia, for example, graces deserts in the U.S. Southwest and Mexico with its splashes of red and metallic chip-chip-chip call. In Argentina, the Endangered Yellow Cardinal shines bright in open woodlands and savannas, but with a population of fewer than 3,000 individuals, is a priority species for conservation.
Join American Bird Conservancy for our webinar on Thursday, February 27 at 3pm CT to learn more about the brilliant, diverse cardinal family and some of the specific species that ABC works to conserve. Plus, find out what you can do at home to keep the cardinals in your community thriving!
