IN Tennessee when I saw this bird I 

 heard nothing but the soft little mew it 

 gives as it flutters around among the 

 branches. But here in Augusta I have had 

 a fine view of two of these tiny birds and 

 heard the song many times. Such a sweet, 

 varied, soft, little song, something like a 

 goldfinch's, but with almost as much vari- 

 ety in it as a thrasher's. It seems to me 

 the faintest, tiniest little song and just 

 suited to the size of the bird. 



April, 1896. There are several of these 

 little birds around our new house as it is 

 building. 



May 5, 1897. Saw a pair back of our 

 garden.
