The Cardinal in Cambridge, Mass. — On Wednesday, November 27, 
1901, I saw and identified a male Cardinal ( Cardinalis card i^ah's) near 
my house in Cambridge. It had already been seen on the 19th of the 
month about a quarter of a mile away, and it seems probable that it will 
winter about Cambridge. It does not seem likely that it is an escaped 
cage-bird, because males of many species of birds are known to often wan- 
der north after the breeding season ; also because it very rarely occurs 
that cage-birds escape or are released, and such infrequent occurrences 
certainly cannot account for the dozen or more records of the Cardinal in 
Massachusetts. The fact that most of these records are of males seems to 
be explained by the tendency of male birds to go north after breeding, 
and also by their brilliant plumage causing them to be more often noticed 
than the olive-gray female.
