Common resident southward, summer resident northward. Breeds. Distribu- ted everywhere among bushes and thickets; sometimes even found within the larger towns. Nest usually upon the ground, but occasionally in a bush. The males have a very pretty song. The first three names are derived from the ordi- nary call of the bird, which somewhat re-sembles the words used. They are notice- ably more common during the migrations. Usually nests on the ground, but occa- sionally the nests are found several feet high in bushes. Genus CARDINALIS Head of Cardinal, nat. siz9. â '218. Cardinalis cardinalis (.Linn.). Cardinal; Cardinal Grosbeak; "; Very common resident in the southern half of the State, north of that they are perhaps resident, but vary much in numbers, according to localities. Breeds. They are rare in Dekalb County ( Hon. R. Wes McBride, Mrs. J. L. Hine ); Portf-r County ( Trouslot, Byrkit ); Allen County ( Stockbridge). In the extreme north- west counties of the State they are very rare, and may be said to be of accidental occurrence. They nest quite early in April. They are easily tamed and are largely captured in many localities for cage bird.^. The song is a very character- istic one, only resembled so far as I know by some of the notes of the Carolina Wren. The Cardinal is one of the most noticeable features of our avian Please note that these images are extracted
