During the autumn of 1909 a few of these little Finches 
frequented the garden at Los Ynglases, but I did not see any 
old males. 
Later in 1909 and in the beginning of 1910 they were again 
seen, this time both old males and females, and two nests 
were found in the garden.

This is the only Cardinal found in the Ajo district, where 
it is quite plentiful; but very few were observed on the river 
expedition. The only records that I have of seeing it are at 
Puerto Maria on Sept. 13th and 16th and at Puerto Olimpo 
on the 21st of the same month. Everywhere it is quite 
tame, and it makes a delightful cage-bird. 
The nest is a thin open structure of hair and can be seen 
through from below, while two eggs is the most I have taken, 
though this cannot be the full clutch.
