Default An "Odd Duck" Northern Cardinal

Here's one for the birds, I came across this on another site and thought some here may find it of interest -- a Northern Cardinal that shows both male and female characteristics, it's termed a "Bilateral Gynandromorph", which is reported to be a very rare occurrence in birds, butterflies, moths and other insects. This Northern Cardinal was captured in Texas and is said to have both male and female reproductive organs.
