Question:
Where do cardinals migrate to in the winter? Living here
in Michigan we do not see them after the summer. Thanks you for your
answering this question for me.
Replies:
Northern cardinals are generally non-migratory. In the 19th century they
were rarely reported north of central Illinois-Indiana, but in the 20th
century expanded their range to Minnesota, Michigan and Ontario. I can't say
why you don't see them in the winter as they must surely be somewhere
nearby.
