There isa mixture of clicking, lisping, purring, and sweet sputtering about them all whichis not at all unpleasant to the ear. In nesting this wren weaves a compact ball of dead reeds and grasses alittle deeper than wide, and slung midway of the growing reeds. The intersticesof the structure are tightly packed with vegetable cotton, cat-tail down, or moss,—never mud, and in my experience entrance is effected through a hole in the side,often difficult to discover, and the interior is snugly lined with down or purloinedfeathers. While the female is incubating, the male has a curious habit of con-structing other nests in the neighboring reeds. These cocks nests vary fromthree to twenty in number, and spread out through an area of a square rod ortwo.

The robin is shown to be the most numerous bird, with the English sparrowa close second. In the northeast robins averaged six pairs to each farm of fifty-eight acres, while English sparrows averaged five pairs to a farm. Taking 100robins as a unit, other birds were noted in the following proportions: Cat birds,49; brown thrushes, 37; house wrens, 28; kingbirds, 27, and bluebirds, 26. As for density of population on each acre of farm land, there was anaverage of one pair of birds. Chevy Chase, Md., holds the record for density,where 161 pairs nested on twenty-three acres. Thirty-four species of birds wererepresented. The bird population is much smaller than it ought to be, according to depart-ment experts, who ass</i><br><br><b>Note About Images</b><br></p>
