A couple weeks ago David Gourley of Boyle County, Kentucky saw a very rare sight, a yellow Northern Cardinal. As we all know, these birds are usually bright red, their color derived from the carotenoids in the food they eat. A rare genetic mutation has caused this bird to develop yellow pigmentation instead of red. A truly peculiar sight!
