wwcitizenThis is one of my favorite birds so far on Kauai.
He's a red-crested cardinal. He's got gray wings and bill, a white breast, and a red feathered face. The females have chestnut brown where the males have red. They're both really beautiful. The males are MUCH more vocal than the females as far as I can tell.
I was sitting on the lanai today "talking" (whistling) to one for a while after the lawnmowers were gone. He heard me mocking his chirps, cocked his head toward me, and hopped on the roof top over toward me moving his head around and looking at me - for at least 5 minutes or so. Matt was kind of taking a nap on the couch in the living room and heard the whole thing. He thought it was really cute, as did I!!
A couple of the males and one female were flying around us, too, at the pool today, eating some berries - or something - off the bushes next to the water. They're so friendly and pretty. Not tame, but not as afraid as East Coast birds (except for the filthy NY pigeons which dive at your table to get at your bread!).
