i 4 Cbe Warbler 



Indeed, had there been greater assurance of the wintering of the Rock Wren 

 in mocking-bird country one might well have guessed where this brilliant 

 sino-er had been to school. In any case, the wonder was why this particular 

 bird had no mate; though, indeed, there be bachelors and bachelors. But 

 surely, no more winsome bachelor ever rolicked and sang, and lived care- 

 free than my sweet Rock Wren singer of the cliff-dweller cliffs.
