Name this bird:

Northern Cardinals are identified by a prominent head crest, a thick conical orange bill, and (in males) a black face mask. Unlike tanagers, which have slimmer bills and no crest—Scarlet Tanagers also show black wings in breeding males, and Summer Tanagers are crestless—the cardinal’s crest and mask are unmistakable. House Finches lack a crest and have brown streaking. Common across eastern and central North America, cardinals are nonmigratory and known for their clear “cheer, cheer, cheer” song. Their name recalls the red robes of Catholic cardinals, and they’re the state bird of seven U.S. states. Memory tip: red bird with a mohawk and a mask equals Northern Cardinal.
