It is more than probable that the decrease in numbers in the case of this species is due solely to the continued destruction of the sycamore trees. Here, at least, is a bird rightly named, for the Warbler has cultivated this grim and grizzled old man-of-the-riversâwhom all the other birds, save perhaps the Blue-gray Gnatcatcher and the King-bird, seem to shunâuntil its de- pendence upon it is almost absolute.
