Common resident southward, summer resident northward. Breeds. Distribu- ted everywhere among bushes and thickets; sometimes even found within the larger towns. Nest usually upon the ground, but occasionally in a bush. The males have a very pretty song. The first three names are derived from the ordi- nary call of the bird, which somewhat re-sembles the words used. They are notice- ably more common during the migrations. Usually nests on the ground, but occa- sionally the nests are found several feet high in bushes.
