Char, Above, olive ; crown orange-brown, bordered with black stripes, white ring around the eyes; benea'th, white, spotted with olive. Length S/4 to 6J4 inches. ATesf. On the ground, at the foot of a tree or in the moss on a decayed log ; rather loosely made of twigs, grass, leaves, and moss, lined with fine grass and hair. The top is often completely roofed, sometimes arched or domed; the entrance on the side. â Eg^s. 4-6; creamy white, spotted with brown and lilac ; X This rather common bird, so nearly allied to the true Thrushes, is found throughout the forests of the United States, Canada, and in the territory of Oregon during the summer, arriving in the Middle and Northern States about the beginning of May or close of April, and departing for tropical America, Mexico, and the larger West India islands early in September. The Golden-crowned Thrush, shy and retiring, is never seen out of the shade of the woods, and sits and runs along the ground often like the Lark; it also frequents the branches of trees, and sometimes moves its tail in the manner of the Wag- tails. It has few pretensions to song, and while perched in the deep and shady part of the forest, it utters, at intervals, a simple, long, reiterated note of 'isA'e tshe tshe tshe tshe, rising from low to high and shrill, so as to give but little idea of the distance or place from whence the sound proceeds, and often appearing, from the loudness of the closing cadence, to be much.
