lings; has a loud note. It builds the latter end of April, the nest 

 formed of rotten wood, small chips, and ground swamp moss, lined 

 with finer tree moss, and fine stalks, like hay ; the egg is blush- 

 colour, with some small dusky specks ; but for one-fourth next the 

 larger end white, at which part the specks are more numerous. They 

 are supposed to migrate, but Mr. Abbot, having shot one on the 

 2d of February, and observed others in the winter season, gives 

 reason to think, that the greater part remain there throughout the 

 year.
