Cardinal in Burke

This is a cardinal, the official state bird of Virginia.  And seeing by its beautiful colors, we now see why.  The cardinal's diet consists mostly of weeds, grains, and fruits.  This bird is often seen around these parts, as it is mostly attracted to trees and forests.  Not only that, but cardinals are attracted to bird houses and feeders.  They do not migrate, so they always stay near, even in wintertime.  However, they dont hibernate either.  Instead, they go into a semi-hibernation state called torpor, in which they just stay but in their habitat, and try to minimize their noise to repel predators.
