The sexes do not differin appearance, and the young, on leaving the nest, resemble the old birds are about five inches in length. The nest is made of grasses, mosses, feathers, and similar soft material,and is placed in a hole, often excavated by the birds, in a post, stump, or treetrunk, usually not more than ten or fifteen feet from the ground. Five toeight eggs are laid. They are white, spotted with reddish brown, particu-larly at the larger end, and are about three fifths of an inch long, and not quitehalf an inch in their other diameter. The call of the Chickadee is indicated by his name, but his song notes oftwo or three clear whistles, rather long drawn out, are very pleasing in CAROLINA CHICKADEE.
