No sooner did I post the previous piece about juvenile Cardinals, than a slightly older girl with the most beautiful, golden plumage, appeared…
Why the fuss? Well, female Cardinals don’t get near the press and photo attention lavished on the Red Gender, but I’m a contrarian, I guess.
Every once in a while, I come across a Female Cardinal with such delicate shades of gold and peach, that I fall head over heels. Here is one such in what look likes her first adult plumage—quite the Cinderella, soon to meet her Prince Charming, no doubt…
But in fairy tales we always read about the girls before the Prince arrives, and so it is with Princess Goldie here.
