@SteveStuWill My profile picture is one…a bilateral gynandromorph Northern Cardinal I photographed in 2019 that went viral thanks to National Geographic.❤️
@skwinnicki Awesome! I’ve become fascinated with gynandromorphs since getting photos of one in my yard in 2019. National Geographic did an article on it.❤️
@birdmoder So cool! I find them fascinating! This is the one I had coming around for a few months in 2019. It went viral ❤️ National Geographic even did an article about it.
@susanhodson17@ottertitties The cardinal on the left has leucisim. The bird on the right is AI generated…not even real. The bird in my profile picture is a gynandromorph.
@MaggiePHardy My profile picture is the one I saw in 2019 that was covered by many news outlets, and National Geographic. Hopefully you can get pictures of yours if it returns. I’d love to see it! ❤️
@CrawliesWithCri @apsciencebydan I consider myself lucky! The last time I saw them was March 5, 2019. February 2021, a gentleman about 60 miles away, also photographed one. I’m pretty sure it’s the same bird.

@MarcotheLuck@UberLyftAnswers Yes, rare but not uncommon. Since I photographed mine, I started researching more on them. It can happen in all birds, but with cardinals being sexually dimorphic, they are more recognizable. It can also happen in butterflies, insects, crustaceans, etc.
@ilruby7766 @hitchthemusical@nicodellafabs I want to see the final result too. The cardinal I photographed was the subject. I was contacted by one of the producers to give them permission to do it. So excited!❤️
