Northern Cardinal October 1, 2026 Did you know that Northern Cardinals start with a black beak? This one is likely 12 to 20 days old, as it was moving around but still actively begging for food from its parent. Young can be fed up to 56 days after leaving the nest. What species are you still seeing being fed in your area? ℹ️Birds of the World
