THE GARDEN WARBLER. 



The song is certainly softer, and lacks 

 something of the wilcl dash and irregu- 

 larity of that of its relative, but some of 

 its notes are quite as sweet, and this fact 

 strikes the listener, particularly when the 

 bird is heard close at hand in some quiet, 

 out-of-the-way corner where other vocal- 

 ists do not interfere with the full enjoy- 

 ment of the Garden Warbler's song. 



The alarm note is a harsh" tech," sound- 

 ing something like the noise made by 

 two pebbles being struck together.
