86 BLACKCAP. 



One is grounded with yellowish brown, with a few small spots of 

 black. 



A second is of a greyish white, nearly hidden with blots of light 

 yellowish green, and a few dark green spots. 



A third is of a greyish pink, with some spots of brownish pink, and 

 some waved streaks and small dashes of the same. 



A fourth is of a greyish white, with blots of yellowish brown, and 

 one or two dull waved streaks of a darker shade. 



Both birds sit on the eggs, but the female naturally the most. The 

 male frequently sings while so engaged. The female, when sitting, is 

 occasionally fed by her partner. The young are said to leave the nest 

 rather soon, roosting with their parents on the adjoining boughs.
