Meet North America's most beloved backyard bird in stunning detail.

With their brilliant red plumage and distinctive crest, cardinals have captured hearts across the continent, serving as state birds for seven states and symbols of hope in countless cultures. Yet beyond their striking beauty lies a fascinating world of complex behaviors, seasonal rhythms, and remarkable adaptability that few people truly understand.

Little Wings of Wonder: Cardinals, the Crimson Crowns reveals the complete story of these crimson crowns, from the classic Northern Cardinal's year-round presence to the desert-dwelling Pyrrhuloxia's subtle elegance. Discover how males court their mates through tender feeding rituals, why cardinals form winter flocks after fiercely defending summer territories, and the secret to their incredible seed-cracking abilities.
