This frantically flying Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis) is fighting its reflection in your window - thinking it’s protecting its territory from other Cardinals. You can see this bird year-round foraging for seed in your native garden or at your feeders in winter. Males are a striking bright red while females are more subtle with shades of brown and light red.
