The Carolina Waxwing, which has been gene- 

 rally confounded with the Common or Bohemian 

 species, which it is very like, has the belly of a 

 pale yellow, and the wings of both sexes are of a 

 plain colour, and the female is destitute of the red 

 appendages to the quill-feathers. 



This species is found throughout the whole of 

 North America, from Carolina to Mexico; but of 

 its habits we are as much in the dark as we are 

 respecting the European species : it is known 

 by the names of Chatterer and Recollect in the 

 United States, where it makes its appearance in 

 June when the cherries are ripe, and in the au- 

 tumn when the cedar berries are in perfection : 

 they generally arrive in large flocks.
