AUDUBON'S WARBLER. 83 



can hear a beetle sawing away at its business be- 

 neath the tree bark as easily as you hear a knock 

 on your door. As to the song of Audubon's war- 

 bler, it is short and pleasing, though rather weak. 

 Perhaps the bird is too eager to snatch flies in 

 midair, to quite finish any song it begins.
