[Resident and generally distributed, although nowhere 
common; met with along the edge of swamps and in low 
camp grounds. Nest placed in thick clumps of matted grass, 
but is frequently discovered by parasitic birds, as most nests 
contain one or more of their eggs. Three eggs usually form 
a clutch.— W. F.]

[This bird is resident and common, living together in 
flocks of from ten to thirty individuals, and, next to Tardus 
rufiventris , is one of our best singers. The nest is very 
difficult to find, owing to the care taken by the bird to 
conceal it in some swamp, where it is quite hidden under 
the large masses of grass.— W. F.~\
