My cardinals are still feeding what I presume to be a first year offspring. It looks exactly like the female and even though both parents are still around only the female is still offering it seeds. My research tells me that cardinals often raise three or more broods in a season but this 'baby' appears to be full grown so it must be from early summer. What happens to all the fledglings when they breed more than once? Unfortunately, they nest elsewhere so I never see the young when they are very small.
