How eggs are ever hatched at all in a tempera-ture calculated to freeze any sitting bird stiff, is one of the mys-teries of the woods. And yet four or five fluffy little jays, thatlook as if they were dressed in gray fur, emerge from the eggsbefore the spring sunshine has unbound the icy rivers or meltedthe snowdrifts piled high around the evergreens.

(Galeoscoptes carolinensis). g Life-size. Dusky, Gray, and Slate-colored Our familiar catbird, of all the feathered tribe, presents themost contrary characteristics, and is therefore held in varied esti-mation—loved, admired, ridiculed, abused. He is the veriestDr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of birds. Exquisitely proportioned,with finely poised black head and satin-gray coat, which hebathes most carefully and prunes and prinks by the hour, he ap-pears from his toilet a Beau Brummell, an aristocratic-looking,even dandified neighbor. Suddenly, as if shot, he drops headand tail and assumes the most hang-dog air, without the leastsign of self-respect; then crouches and lengthens into a roll, headforward and tail straightened, till he looks like a little, short graysnake, lank and limp. Anon, with a jerk and a sprint, everymuscle tense, tail erect, eyes snapping, he darts into the air intentupon some well-planned mischief. It is impossible to describehis various attitudes or moods.
