52 THE SECOND BOOK OF BIRDS 
two birds sat on the two nests till all the young 
were hatched, and then fed and reared them. 
When they were ready to fly, the happy birds 
had a big family to take care of. 
Besides these tiny fellows that we call war- 
blers, there gre four bigger birds classed with the 
family, who do not look or act like warblers. 
They are the golden-crowned thrush or oven- 
bird, the water-thrush, the Louisiana water- 
thrush, and the yellow-breasted chat. 
The OveEn-BrrD gets his name from the nest, 
which is shaped like an old-fashioned oven. It 
is on the ground in the woods, often on the side 
of a little slope. It has a roof over it covered 
with sticks and leaves like the ground around it, 
so that it is hard to see. 
If you were to see this bird walking about on 
the ground, as he does, you would think him a 
thrush. He is something the same color, and he 
has a speckled breast like a thrush. His mate is 
dressed in the same way, and they have a dull 
yellowish stripe over the crown. 
He is the fellow you hear in the woods, calling 
“Teacher ! teacher! teacher!’’ He is found all 
over the United States east of the Rocky Moun- 
tains.
