I agree that it might seem more logical to count two cardinals if you see first the female and later the male, but the Project Feederwatch instructions are very clear: count the number of individuals in view at one time The information from this vast citizen science project is reliable only if every participant is following the same guidelines for counting. The guidelines aren’t the same as for e-bird, so people who are contributing to both (and I think everyone should!) should be aware of the differences. Maeve Kim Jericho Center
