Red-crested Cardinal: Native to South America, this bird has a bright red head, crest, face, chin and upper breast. The upperparts are gray with an incomplete white collar that nearly meets at the back of the neck. It has white underparts, a light gray bill and gray legs and feet. It mainly feeds on plant seeds, fruits, berries and insects.
Birds are especially prominent users of the fruit. The birds include ruffed grouse, bobwhite, catbird, cardinal, chat, robin, orchard oriole, summer tanger, brown thrasher, thrushes and towhee. The fruits are also very important to animals such as black bear, raccoon, squirrels, and chipmunk.
