. Elements of zoölogy. Zoology. KEEL-BREASTED BIRDS. 285. Fig. 314.—The gardener-bird ; its house, garden, flowers, etc. The Finches (Fringillidce) have the bill shorter and more robust than in the preceding family, the corners of the mouth drawn down. They have a wide range in every country except Australia. The cardinal grosbeak (Cardinalis Virginianus) is one of our familiar birds. The general color is red, ashy on the back, the chin and forehead black, the crest conspicu- ous, and the beak a bright red. Their notes are extremely melodious, especially in the breeding-season. The nests are placed in trees, and contain from four to six grayish- white eggs, with olive-brown markings. door rich green mosses are planted and kept clean, and upon this miniature meadow bright flowers and insects are scattered, which are taken away and replenished as soon as they fade. In this curious habitation the birds meet in social and aesthetic enjoyment, the nest being entirely different and distinct.
