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; 2-8, '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. 

 134. [595] Zamelodia ludoviciana (Linn. ). Rose- breasted Grosbeak.* 



Common migrant. "But few breed here" (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 unusual. The only record of its making its summer home at 

 Blooinington 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 University 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.
