Title	Cardinal Illustration and Description
Subject	Arts and Entertainment Plants and Animals Birds State birds
Place	Columbus (Ohio) Franklin County (Ohio) Ohio (entire state)
Description	This illustration and text on the cardinal was published in William Dawson's The Birds of Ohio: a Complete Scientific and Popular Description of the 320 Species of Birds Found in the State in 1903. The cardinal, Cardinalis Cardinalis, is common to Ohio year-round and the male is easily identified by its deep red plumage. It is the official state bird of Ohio. Once rare in the Northern regions of the United States, the cardinal is now more common. Cardinals' nests are primarily made of sticks and grass, and they build them in low bushes or tree saplings. Females typically lay three to four eggs, which are blue-green in tint and have reddish brown specks. William Leon Dawson (1873-1928), an ornithologist and Congregational minister, created The Birds of Ohio: a Complete Scientific and Popular Description of the 320 Species of Birds Found in the State in 1903. Dawson was ordained at Oberlin Theological Seminary in 1899 and became the pastor at North Church in Columbus in 1900. He also published books about the birds of Florida and California.
