We have a bald cardinal hanging out in our neighborhood. I've seen him with a female, they might be nesting in the neighbor's evergreen tree. I thought maybe he just got picked on by some of the other "boys" in the neighborhood.

I've never seen such a thing. Kind of gross, but he had no idea he was not so beautiful and was just singing away. Does anyone have an idea of what happened to this bird? Was he born this way, have some mites or disease? Will he get better? I have posted an image on my web site in the INSTANTS OF NATURE gallery.
