[This plainest of the Sun-birds is also the commonest with 

 us. It is probably the builder of" most of the Sun-birds' nests 

 that I have seen — exquisite little pocket-nests hung from 

 the bushes and lined with the finest down. It has a pretty 

 soug, uttered in a very fine or slender and sweet voice : this 

 consists of half a dozen well-sepai'ated notes that skip far up 

 and down the scale, reminding us of a singing lesson. 



This bird is not confined to the open country near villages, 

 as are most Sun-birds, but is found in the forest as well. —
