SONGS OF THK TRUK THRUSHES.

cept that and the Gray-cheeked Thrush. The Wood 
Thrush may be heard from about May 12 to July in almost 
any deep wood or well watered grove. A pair nested this 
year in the north-eastern part of the city in an oak grove 
adjoining occupied lots. The male is a fine singer and I 
have many times listened to him from a distance of 150 ft. 
This proximity has revealed many tones I never before 
heard. In the far distance only the three principal tones 
are audible, and those have been very well represented by 
the words, “come to me.” At short range the song be¬ 
comes quite a different thing. The principal notes are in¬ 
troduced and followed by calls, trills and tremolos, some 
of them not altogether musical. I give seven different forms 
of the song which were transcribed on the spot. These 
were all repeated many times but apparently with no defi¬ 
nite order of succession. Between the phrases there was 
rest of from 10 to 20 seconds.
