It is a genetic mutation in which the "normal" color gene is suppressed, altered or not present, according to Dr. Dawkins. I just watched a lecture of his on birds and evolution a couple of days ago. I'll see if I can find a link to it. 
Cool! I've seen a few orange or yellow House Finches at my feeder, but I don't remember an orange Cardinal.
