CAEDINAL BIKD. 
The Cardinal Grosbeak, wbicli is some- 
times called the Caidinal Bird, is eight 
inches in length. The general plumage 
is a fine red : the bill pale red, and 
stout : on the head is a crest ; and round 
the bill, and on the throat, the color is 
black : the quill and tail feathers are not 
of so bright a red as the body. The song 
of the Cardinal Bird very much resembles 
that of the nightingale, and during the 
spring and summer its sweet notes aie 
heard from the tops of the tallest trees. 
It is met with in several parts of North
