This male cardinal was spotted among the snow-covered branches in town last week. The cardinal isn’t common to Northwestern Ontario, but recently several pairs of the species have been seen here and perhaps will be included in this year’s local Christmas Bird Count, which is set to go this Friday (Jan. 2).
