a bold looking little fellow. It has a large blue eye cere sur- 

 rounding a damson colored eye. The old style of birds were 

 plain-legged, but they are now, by some change, almost, all 

 grouse-legged. Their color is a sort of silver, with very dis- 

 tinct wing bars of black. The tail also has a dark band, and 

 the flights and tail run to a dark color. There are few of 

 these birds in this country.
