The Cardinal

By June Osborne and Barbara Garland

This informative guide follows a year in the life of the Northern Cardinal with evocative text and gorgeous color photography.
 
Author June Osborne and photographer Barbara Garland capture the beauty and intrigue of this striking songbird. They describe how cardinals stake out territory and choose mates, find a nesting site, and incubate their eggs, feed the young and prepare them for full-fledged independence.
 
The Cardinal also explores the special relationship that humans have with their favorite redbirds. Osborne traces the symbolic use of cardinals as state birds and athletic mascots and shows how they appear on everything from postage stamps to Christmas cards, as well as in fine art, literature, and Native American folklore.

Reviews for The Cardinal

[billsearth · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This is a reference book.The data on Cardinals is excellent. Nearly all the photos and captions are crooked, giving the book a non-professional look it does not deserve. This was in my opinion, a publisher's poor decision, making the book seem a personal opinion text rather than a reference. Good data, poor publishing.
