0.94 x .68. They are noticably larger than any cedar bird I ever 
saw. They are of the same ground colour, but sparingly spotted 
with round black spots. The nest was a firm, substantial structure, 
quite deep and built of rootlets, twigs and fibres; not of grass and

in winter. Only visits Toronto occasionally. When it does so it
