Cardinalidae is family of American birds that includes birds with common names such as cardinals, buntings, grosbeaks and tanagers. Many tanagers were recently moved to this family from their previous assignment to Thraupidae (tanagers). Sexual dimorphism is usual. This gallery has species with relatively few shots here, while the buttons lead to species galleries of those who have more.
