Description: Describes this bird's physical appearance, habitat, and nesting. Includes photos.
Similar to the female and juvenile Northern Cardinal, the Pyrrhuloxia's thick, strongly curved, parrot-like orange-yellow bill helps identify it. The male is 7-1/2 to 8-1/2 inches long and is grey overall, with red on the face, crest, wings, tail and underparts. The female shows little or no red; the bill is a dull yellow. This bird is fairly common in thorny brush and mesquite thickets of dry streambeds, desert, woodland edges and ranchlands. The song is a liquid whistle, thinner and shorter than the song of the Northern Cardinal. The call is a sharp "chink".
