8. Mimus polyglottua. Mocking-bird. Very ab. ; res. Although 

 the Mocking-bird sometimes strays even to New England, it is not 

 common north of the lower parts of Virginia. In some parts of the 

 Carolinas it is perhaps the most abundant bird. It raises two or 

 three broods each summer; young birds may be found ti'om April 

 until September; four eggs are oftener laid than either three or five. 

 The early broods are reputed to make the finest singers, and also to 

 be reared artificially with less trouble than those hatched later. The 

 birds sing more or less all the year ; and, particula^'ly during the 

 breeding season, at any hour of the night.
