9. Pipilo erythroplitlialmus erythrophthalmus — Towhee. 



Towhees are numerous residents and a fascinating part of the 

 underbrush bird world, in song, in plumage and in hustling, bust- 

 ling habits. 



10. Cardinalis cardinalis ccrrdinalis — Cardinal. 



Cardinals are frequent residents and a delight to the eye and 

 ear. I have always been impressed with the low visibility of th" 

 cardinal. It is scarcely more noticeable in the shaded woodlands 

 than many dull-colored bir'ds. This seems to be due to the fact 

 that its red plumage has relatively low values. Difference in de- 

 grees of value may be quite as important as color contrast in de- 

 termining visibility. The scarlet tanager shows red with high 

 values, is more contrasty with the landscape, and more visible.
