TaU very long. Pemiale paler than the male. Ranox : The United Stites and Canada as far west as the Rockies, and north as far as Montreal and Manitoba. Winters south 'of Virginia. - Migrations : Late ^ril or May. Late September or October. Song : Very melodious and sweet. He sings always from a conspicuous perch. Nest : PositioniâAt l^e root of tall weeds, in an open field or in some low bu^. Materials^ â^Twigs, leaves, vine tendrils, bits of bark,â a bulky or rudely built nest, but carefully lined with fine, black rootlets. £^^5,-â-speckled, greenish blue. Food : Worms^ May beetles, scores of other kinds of insects ; fruits. Habits : Often mistaken for a thrush, but in reality one of the wren family. The way he carries and moves his long tail indicates this. He twitches it nervously or moves it rapidly up and down, jerks it erect at some distracting sound or sight and droops it while he sings. He lives in bushy thickets, especially those overgrown with vines, and may be seen running over the ground on the fallen leaves, picking up grubs and insects with his long, slender bill. He is of great yalue to farmers and gardeners as an insect destroyer. »7.
