The CHIcKADEE.-Whilo the wintry
blasts of our Northern States drive away
almost all our birds, this busy bird IS
left behind with his CHEEKY voice. His
prominent features are black cap and
bib, tiny sharp bill. bluish-back and
whitish belly, with white line between
bib and crown, from the lower mandible,
under the eye to his back. WHY this
tiny bird is so hardy is mystery that
only nature knows, for while he appears
TO be made of the same flesh and blood
us other little birds and with no more
feathers to keep him warm, he stands
the severest weather of our Eastern
states without apparent suffering.
lie Is never seen resting or summing
himself, but is in constant motion and
activity, but avoids the cold at night by
retiring into some little hole in n hollow
