T SOMETIMES think this bird is hand- 

 - somer than the Blackburnian, even, he 

 is such a beauty, with his yellow sided 

 head, green back and jet black V on his 

 throat. In autumn this last is obscure or 

 wanting, but the black stripes on side of 

 breast are always plainly visible. The 

 song is one of the most beautiful of all the 

 warblers, more of a melody or tune in it, 

 and with a sweetly deliberate quality in it. 

 It has a lovely quaver in the middle notes, 

 higher than the first and last. It is such a 

 satisfaction to be able to identify this bird 

 so unfailingly in the autumn, when so many 

 of the family are so puzzling.
