growth of bushes, small trees, and vines that cover old cleared 

 land. It is the most home-keeping of birds ; I have never 

 seen it fly out of its thickets. The call and answer of the

 walking on the paths through such places ; but the birds are 

 not often seen. — G. L. B.]

The two last-named specimens have whitish bills, and I 

 should have supposed them to be young birds. Prof. 

 Reicheuow, however, says that it is very old birds which 

 have the bill white. The black-billed male seems to me 

 to be in much finer plumage than the white-billed birds.
