Did you get it right?
This counting puzzle asks you to find every cardinal around the birdbath, including the partly hidden ones in the bush and fence area.

The Answer
The correct answer is: The intended answer is 11 cardinals..
Here is why
- Count the obvious red cardinals first.
- Then check the lilac bush, fence line, birdbath area, and feeder pole.
- The intended total is 11 cardinals.
Why people miss it
A few cardinals are partly covered by flowers, fence slats, or shadows, so the first count often comes up short.
