THE BLACK-HEADED BUNTING, or Reed Bunting, as it is 

 also called, is a well-known inhabitant of marshy places, 

 the sides of lakes and large ponds, banks of rivers or canals, 

 rush-grown water-meadows and beds of osiers, and though 

 local from the partiality the bird exhibits to live in the vi- 

 cinity of water, it is not a rare species in situations which 

 accord with its habits, and it remains in this country 

 throughout the year.
