The Cardinal is another one of those cheery birds which may be heard 

 singing at all times of the year. Some winter dates of singing are: 10-19; 

 11-9, '02 and 1-1; 2-S, '03. On February 13. 1903, I heard a Cardinal sing- 

 ing from the top of a cedar tree at 6 a. m.. and on passing the same place 

 at 7 a. m. found him still at his music. 

 13-4. [595] Zamelodia ludovkiana (Linn. ). Rose-breasted Grosbeak.* 



Common migrant. "But few breed liere" (B. W. E.). Although the 

 Rose-breasted Grosbeak has been reported a summer resident from locali- 

 ties farther south than this (St. Louis, Cincinnati), such an occurrence is 

 very unxisiial. The only record of its making its summer home ■ at 

 Blooniington is that of B. W. Evermann in 1886. Song May 8, 1903. 



The date, November 12, 1888. is from an uncatalogued specimen in 

 the ]Museum of Indiana Universitj' which was collected by a Mr. 

 Chambers. The males seem to arrive earlier and depart later than the 

 females. Neither so common nor so early a migrant now as formerly,
