What is the status for Cardinals in Washington? I have assumed they are
sedentary, staying close
to or in their range. Roberson's 1980 book does not mention them and
Sibley's shows several
close wanderings, both from the western population and the northeastern pop.
I talked to a
couple in Burley, that had 3, 2 males and a female in July and August this
year. I assume they
were undoubtedly escapees. They have pictures. Seems no more unlikely than
a Painted
Bunting in a large population center.
