THE ROSE-BREASTED GROSBEAK, 

 GUIEACA LUDOVICIANA, Gray. 



By J. J. Audubon, from Birds of North America. 



^NE year, in the month of August, I was trudging along the shores of the Mo- 

 hawk River, when night overtook me. Being little acquainted with that part 

 of the country, 1 resolved to camp where I was ; the evening was calm and 

 beautiful, the sky sparkled with stars, which were reflected by the smooth waters, and 

 the deep shade of the rocks and trees of the opposite shore fell on the bosom of the 

 stream, while gently from afar came on the ear the muttering sound of the cataract.
