[Resident and generally distributed, although nowhere 

 common ; met with along the edge of swamps and in low 

 camp grounds. Nest placed in thick clumps of matted grass, 

 but is frequently discovered by parasitic birds, as most nests 

 contain one or more of their eggs. Three eggs usually form 

 a clutch.- W. F.]

[This bird is resident and common, living together in 

 flocks of from ten to thirty individuals, and, next to Turdus 

 rufiventris, is one of our best singers. The nest is very 

 difficult to find, owing to the care taken by the bird to 

 conceal it in some swamp, where it is quite hidden under 

 the large masses of grass. — W. F.~\
