and departing Northward in spring, though a few stay behind, for 

 now and then a nest is found there. Linnaeus observes, that it is 

 every where met with in September ; and adds, that it sings agree- 

 ably in the spring, if in a cage ; and feeds on hemp seeds ; but we do 

 not learn from him if it remains through the summer : with us it is a 

 winter songster, and the note is not an unpleasant one, beginning 

 with the first frosts, and continuing till the spring; it often repeats 

 a note like Tit, tit, tit, hence it has been named Titling ; it is called 

 also, by some, Dunnock. The Cuckow frequently lays her egg in 

 the nest of this bird.
