 Tale 



Descrip. f I *HE weight of this fpecies is three ounces: 

 X the length nine inches : the breadth thir- 

 teen and a half. In colors it fo nearly refembles 

 the miflel thrufh^ that no other remark need be 

 added, but that it is lefTer, and that the inner co- 

 verts of the wings are yellow. 



The throftle is the fined of our finging birds, not 

 only for the fweetnefs and variety of its notes, but 

 for long continuance of its harmony ; for it obliges 

 us with its fong for near three parts of the year. 

 Like the miflel bird, it delivers its mufic from the 

 top of fome high tree ; but to form its neft de- 

 fcends to fome low bufli or thicket : the neft is 

 made of earth, mofs, and ftraws, and the infide is 

 curioufly plaiftered with clay. It lays five or fix 



eggs.
