Upper parts reddish brown ; under parts bnffy ; wings and tail barred witli black ; a conspicuous white line over the eye. Length, 'lA^ inches. GKO(iKAi'Hif J)iSTUiiuJTiON. —Eastern United Ntates; breeds from the Gulf states to southern Iowa, northern Illinois, and southern Connecticut; resident, except at the northern limit of its range. On tlie wooded liills of tlie NalionaJ ZoiUogical Park at Washington, there are three birds vvliose songs perplex the brains of the beginner by tlieir similarity — the Cardinal, Crested Titmouse, and Carolina Wren. Each of the birds, hcvever, has one song that i^; distinct and easily recognized — the two-syllabled pe-to of the Titmouse ; the three-syllabled tea-ket-th' of the Wren ; and the smooth, one-syllabled, long-drawn cue or quoit of the Cardinal, The Cardinal's, though one-syllabled, is often repeated rapidly as nuich as eleven times. The resemblance of the three songs is not fancied. The Wren is known as the Mocking Wren, and is suj)p()sed to delib- erately mimic the Titmouse, and the Cardinal is also supposed to imitate its fellows; so it is well to listen carefully before naming the songsters, unless they are singing where you can see their.
