Pyrrhuloxia
Linn, Texas
Quick, without consulting a field guide, name a bird that starts with five consonants! The pyrrhuloxia (say "pur-a-LOX-ee-uh"), also called the desert cardinal, is a member of the same genus as the red northern cardinal. The females can look quite similar except for the beak; northern cardinals have a triangular orange beak, while a pyrrhuloxia's is more yellow and cone-shaped.
This female came out to pose on a gray morning in southern Texas, where cardinals and pyrrhuloxias can both be seen at feeders. Before going to the buffet, she went to the top of this branch to have a proper look around, and the diffuse light allowed every subtle bit of color in her feathers to come through.
