Was exploring a large “den cave” I stumbled across while looking for herps, and was surprised to find these two fluff balls about 30ft in. After the flash from this photo, they started huffing and puffing so I left. I also didn’t want to run into any mature ones!

Northern Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis)Observer
dendroicaDescription
I think this bird is albino rather than leucistic due to its red eye. The light-colored bill suggests that this is a juvenile.
There is a nice discussion of the terminology for birds lacking some or all melanin on David Sibley's website.
