What?
As reported by Meterologist Ed Piotrowski, from WPDE tv weather, Myrtle Beach, SC, and shared on Facebook by a local friend:
“Your eyes are not deceiving you. That is an extremely rare yellow cardinal seen in Port St. Lucie, FL. Tracy Workman stepped out of her home, saw the bird at one of her feeders, and captured this amazing photo. Auburn University biology professor Geoffrey Hill says the cardinal is in the same species as the common red cardinal but carries a genetic mutation that causes what would normally be brilliant red feathers to be bright yellow instead. Hill calls it a ‘one in a million mutation’ and estimates that in any given year there are two or three yellow cardinals at backyard feeding stations somewhere in the U.S. or Canada.”
