by .80 of an inch. Such is the resemblance which obtains between these 
eggs and those of the Brown Thrush, tliat when sets of both are jjlaced 
together in a tray, the difference between them would scarcely be ap 2 :>a- 
rent to a novice in such matters. It remains for the keen and critical 
eye of the more advanced student to point out the distinction, which con- 
sists in the paler and more roseate tint of the (diewink’s eggs, and the 
larger size of those of the Thrasher. Wherever observed, these birds seem 
to be single-brooded, although nests are sometimes found with young, in 
June and August, which fact would seem to argue that occasionally more 
than one brood is reared ; but, generally, the first brood leaves the nest 
too late for another to be brought out before the appearance of the early 
frosts.
