 Sedge Bird. 



Numb. LX. 



ITS Bill is {lender, ftreight and of a duiky red; from 

 the Bafe of the upper Mandible is a broad dirty white 

 Mark reaching over each Eye 5 its upper Side and Wings 

 are of a dufky Colour ; the Breaft and Belly of a pale yel- 

 lowilh white : all the exterior Edges of the Wins-Feathers 

 are of a pale yellow ; its Legs and Feet of a reddiih yellow 5 

 the Tail was made up of twelve dulky brown Feathers : It 

 frequents watery Places, among Willows and Sedges : I take 

 this Bird to be the Salicaria of Gefner^ his Defcription being 

 almoft the fame with this. He alfo fays, it feeds upon 

 Flies, Spiders, and other Infects, which it finds among 

 Willows-^ which that it may enjoy alone, it drives away all 

 other fmall Birds. I take the Poft Bird to be very much 

 like this.
