The nest is built in bushes, or low trees, very often in a holly, laurel or evergreen.

Twigs, tendrils, bark of the grape vine, coarse grass and fine rootlets go into its walls, while soft grasses are used for the inner walls and mistress. ‘Three or four eggs of dull bluish white are laid within and Mother Cardinal takes her place above them. ‘Though he is dressed in the hand- somest robe in birdom and possesses the blackest beard, his mind is not dis- | tracted from his family.
