THE YELLOW-HEADED BLACKBIRD. 



6i 



pelled by passion, lie is quite content to mope for hours at a time in 

 the depths of the reeils: and even in nesting time, when his precincts are 

 invaded, he oftener falls to admiring his own plumage in the llnnding sun- 

 shine than tries to drive nff the intruder. Let the hduielv and distrait female 

 attend to that.
