THE MARSH TITMOUSE. 



PA R US PAL US TRIS. 



ON the moss-grown stump of a decayed forest tree, 

 or creeping about the half-submerged roots of some 

 willow by the river side, we may often see the 

 Marsh Titmouse, whose colours, though far less 

 bright than those of its congeners, are nevertheless 

 attractive from the quiet contrast which they present 

 black and gray being the prevailing hues.
