Cool looking cardinal.

quote:

Auburn University biology professor Geoffrey Hill said the cardinal in the photos is an adult male in the same species as the common red cardinal, but carries a genetic mutation that causes what would normally be brilliant red feathers to be bright yellow instead.

"I've been birdwatching in the range of cardinals for 40 years and I've never seen a yellow bird in the wild,"

I'm an avid birder and I've never seen one. Thanks for the article. Something new for me.

Why Is This Northern Cardinal Yellow?

I was going to make a smart arse comment about it being a canary, but couldn’t. This is pretty cool!
