The mate of the Queen of Boardwalk, a Northern Cardinal. I can't tell the different males apart by looks alone (the females have varying amounts of red.) This male was sitting very close to the Queen, so I'm betting they are a mated pair. - ThreadSky

Sorry, but this bird has been using Trump's bronzer! Must say though, it looks much better on the bird! We do know which one is the real bird brain!😂

Well, if he's the mate of the Queen of the Boardwalk, wouldn't that make him either the King of the Boardwalk or at least, consort to the Queen of the Boardwalk? 😜

Great photo! I love the great detail.

We have a mated pair that nests in our backyard every year. Cardinals mate for life.

Oh I love these lovely birds. I had 13 pair at my feeders and as everyone was watching out our window (party) this red tailed hawk swooped down and scooped up one of them, it was heartbreaking.
