We have red-capped cardinals in the Chicago zoos, but a bit different than this guy. Great capture.

There is a South American bird called the "Red Crested Cardinal"

Fotoartist, I've never seen one before, but I feel I have now. With better eyes than usual too. Thanks!

Where is the St Augustine Zoo?
I have shopped and enjoyed sight seeing and eating at restaurants and stayed on the beach, but never encountered the Zoo. Where is it located?

No I haven’t seen one like this, beautiful bird...
Most of us wouldn't see a bird native to South America - outside a zoo, that is.
