The thaw was announced not only by the silvery sound of dripping icicles, but aiso by tbe tbroaty wbistie of a maie cardinal proclaiming that this neighbourhood is bis. According to tbe tex- tbooks, cardinals are suppos- ed to sing year-round, but in the deptbs of a Canadian winter, it seems to take a mild speli to bring on the songs. Sonie authors bave speculatéd that the brilliant red cardinal bas a namnesake in the- cardinals of tbe Roman Catboiic Cburcb, wbo are distinguisbed by their scarlet robes. However, tbe reper- toire of songs of this bird, sanie 28 ini ail, are decidediy un-cburcb-like. One version sounds for al the worid like the ciassic "woif wbistle"' aimed at a pretty girl; another sounds mucb like a neigbbor cailing in the dogs.

Another factor is diet, since their beavy beaks are well-suited for cracking wmnter seeds. Cardinals also feed -on various insects and fruits in season, making tbem a mnixed biessing around your garden.
