CARDINAL (Cardinalis cardinalis) 



The vicinity of New York City was formerly about the 

 northern limit of the breeding range of this brilliant and 

 handsome bird on the Atlantic Coast. The rapid advance of 

 the suburbs and the consequent clearing of woods and thickets 

 has either destroyed the bird's haunts or rendered them un- 

 inhabitable. As a result it is now extirpated in practically 

 all sections. 



Long Island. Formerly a common resident in the rich wood- 

 land at the extreme western end of the island, wandering casually 

 elsewhere. Bred in Prospect Park up to 1902, not seen there 

 since May 2, 1914 (E. Fleischer). An individual seen at Man- 

 hattan Beach, January 1, 1912 (Hix and Rogers).
