. Die Vögel um uns . sconcert sie. Ein weiterer Sommer Wohnsitz in der Delaware Valley, aber eine, die in Zahlen von Jahr zu Jahr variiert, ist der Wurm-essenden Waldsänger. Sein brauner Kopf mit unsichtbaren, dunkleren Streifen macht ihn leicht zu erkennen, und im südlichen New Jersey verharren die Parula und HoodedWarblers den ganzen Sommer, während mehr als eine kanadische Form in den Saumlockensümpfen von Nord-Pennsylvania nistet. Aber um die Zwerge in ihrer Herrlichkeit zu sehen; um sie zu hören, sind sie fähig, zu arbeiten; um sie in ihrer besten Form zu kennen, ist es notwendig, die Wälder und die Abfälle von Kanada und Nord Ne zu besuchen

. The birds about us . sconcert them. Another summer resident in the Delaware Valley, but one that varies in numbers year after year, isthe Worm-eating Warbler. Its brown head with dis-tinct darker streaks render it easily recognized, andin Southern New Jersey the Parula and HoodedWarblers tarry all summer, while more than one Canadian form is to be found nesting in the hem-lock swamps of Northern Pennsylvania. But to see the warblers in their glory; to hear themusic they are capable of performing; to know themat their best, it is necessary to visit the woods andwastes of Canada and Northern New England. Theirpresence, at such a time, makes the country south of italmost commonplace. The birds of the region knownas the Carolinian fauna are well enough in their way, but their united efforts do not eclipse the northernwoods in the time of the nesting warblers. There is one warbler, however, that for beauty andvivacity, and with some pretension to song, is almostthe equal of the brilliant migrants. I refer to the. The Perching Birds. 6i Redstart, that comes early in spring and stays untilfrost, and is everywhere abundant. Although a birdof the trees, it is not necessarily a shy bird and seenonly away from dwellings. I have often seen scoresof them in the village street. The following fromWilson will enable one to recognize this black andred-orange bird: This species has the constant habit of flirting its expanded tailfrom side to side as it runs along the branches, with its head levelledalmost in a line with its body; occasionally shooting off after wingedinsects, in a downward zigzag direction, and with admirable dexterity, snapping its bill as it descends. Its notes are few and feeble, re-peated at short intervals as it darts among the foliage; having atsome times a resemblance to the sounds sic-sic-saic^ at others ofweesy-weesy-weesy; which last seems to be its call for the female, while the former appears to be its most common note. All the nests of redstarts that I hav
