. Useful birds and their protection. Containing brief descriptions of the more common and useful species of Massachusetts, with accounts of their food habits, and a chapter on the means of attracting and protecting birds. Birds; Birds. 204 USEFUL BIRDS.. Red-eyed Vireo. Vireo olivaceus. Length. — About six inches. Adult. — Upper parts grayish olive-green, changing to gray on the crown; a dark stripe on either side of the crown; a light stripe over the eye, and dark streak irom hill through eye; under parts grayish-white, deepening to pale olive-yellow on the flanks; iris ruhy-red. Nest. — A pensile cup; usually hung by its upper edge from a fork, five to twenty-five feet from the ground. Eggs. —White, spotted with dark brown at the larger end. Season. — May to September. The Red-eyed Vireo, although not so abundant as the Robin, is one of the most common and widely distributed summer birds. It breeds throughout the State. It is very devoted to its eggs and young, and sits very closely on the nest. The mother bird will often allow a per- son to walk by within arm's length while she remains quietly sitting. The par- ent birds feed and protect their young for a long time after they leave the nest. This Vireo sleeps very soundly; soon after sunset and before the shades of night have fallen the mother bird on her nest tucks her head under her wing, and is sometimes so oblivious to the world that she may be approached and taken in the hand. The Red- eye is found wherever there are groups of deciduous trees, or woodlands and thickets. Its movetaents as it slips about among the branches are rather deliberate. It sings continu- ally, but the song is intermittent, as though the bird were singing incidentally as a pastime, like a boy whistling at his work. The song is composed of phrases of a few syllables each, and the manner of its delivery, with many rising and some falling inflections and frequent pauses, led Wilson Flagg to name the bird the " preacher.&quo
