ChristmasBird Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 I had the pleasure of seeing two juvenile cardinals this morning. I would appreciate some expert help determining whether they are male or female. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanbirds Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) There isn’t any way to tell. Juvenile males and females look the same. Edited July 16, 2021 by Seanbirds 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With juv compared to adult female however, you can tell. But since these are juvs, you can’t. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) @ChristmasBird If this is around your house they probably will be around for awhile so keep an eye out for them when they get a bit older.

Yep --I'm already seeing changes. No masks yet, but the beaks have lightened and one of the beaks is turning orange already. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
