Virginia's Warbler. Hchninthopliila virginicc. ()44. 



' ' The male is very nuisical during the nesting season, utter- 

 ing his sicee ditty continually as he skips thru the bushes in 

 search of his morning repast ; or having satisfied his appetite/ 

 he mounts to the top of some tree in the neighborhood of his 

 nest, and repeats at regular intervals a song of remarkable full- 

 ness for a bird of such minute proportions." — Mr. Aikin, in 

 Nehrling's Our Native Birds of Song and Beauty, Vol. I,

 warble, frequentl}' uttered from the lower boughs." — Dr. E. A.

 difiicult to assign its position from so meagre a description.
