The Singing of Birds. E.P. Bioknell. 
Tyrannus carolinensis. Kingbird. 
From the time of its arrival on through the season of family 
cares this bird’s notes are louder and more frequent than later in 
its stay. But the Kingbird does not easily hold its peace under 
annoyance, and its harsh twitter constantly breaks forth in those 
dissensions which are ever rising between the irritable birds when 
they are flocking in the late summer preliminary to departure. 
But at this season their notes are usually much abbreviated, for 
their voices are declining ; and when the great body of the little 
combatants have fought their last fight and departed, which is 
about the end of August, it is the exception if the loiterers that 
continue to be met with are not mute.
