This bird is about the fize of the hedge-warbler : the bill broader than that 

 of the white throat : eyes hazel : the upper parts of the body light greenifli 

 brown : the under dufky white, inclining to brown on the breaft : tail dufky : 

 legs lead colour. 



It arrives with us about the middle of April, and makes a neft for the moil 

 part with fibres of plants and wool, fometimes with the addition of green mofs. 

 It often builds in the neighbourhood of gardens. The eggs are ufually four in 

 number, of a dirty white colour, blotched and fpeckled with brownifh. It has 

 a melodious and pleafing fong j and in fome of its notes much refembles the 

 nightingale.
