gape furnished with bristles ; the nostrils lateral, with the opening rounded, and covered with projecting 
bristles. Wings long and pointed ; with the first quill long, and the second to the fourth equal and 
longest. Tail moderate and emarginated. Tarsi shorter than the middle toe, and covered with broad 
scales. Toes moderate ; with the outer toe rather longer than the inner, and united at the base ; the hind 
toe moderate, and broadly padded ; the claws short, curved, and acute. 
These birds frequent the tropical parts of South America and the Galapagos Archipelago. They arc migratory birds, 
appearing in different places on the change of seasons ; and are usually observed on the bushes, but some seem to 
prefer reeds in moist places, while others are noticed on the ground ; however they may be located, insects form their 
chief subsistence.
