The Cardinal Again

One year ago I reported the Cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis). It had been under observation for about eight months. Since that time I have made frequent trips, almost weekly, and have found it in three new places as well as in the old. In fact, I have not made a trip to any of the locations in the past few months that I did not see or hear one or more. Mr. L. E. Wyman reports it has been seen at San Diego and Inglewood. I am surprised that the addition of a new species to the avifauna of California, especially one so beautiful as the Cardinal, has not aroused more interest and attention. It is here to be seen and heard by anyone who desires.

In the same locality may be seen the Russet-backed Thrush, Golden Pileolated Warbler, Chat, and many of the more common kinds.
