Cardinals are my favourite winter bird.  Their bright colours always liven up a dull day.  I have a pair (male and female) who come to my backyard feeders.  I think the male has been in my area for a couple of years, starting as an immature male and finally finding a mate possibly just this year.  At least I like to think it is the same bird and that he has happily found a female.  I do know that cardinals are territorial and often an area is inhabited by one pair.  Not sure of area size though.
