1,6 OUR WINTER BIRDS 



He seems to drawl, through his nose, a high ''yna- 

 yna," quite dilierent from the vigorous ''yank-yank" 

 of White-breast. 



He may be known by size and color as well as 

 by voice. He has the black cap and gray back of 

 White-breast, but is smaller and wears a black stripe 

 from his eye to his ear, and his underparts are more 

 or less strongly tinged with reddish brown. In the 

 female, the crown aiid eye-stripe are grayish. 



Red-breast's nesting ways are much like those of 

 White -breast, but living farther north he does not 

 go to housekeeping before the first week in May.
