In the marsh wren cCistothorus
palustris) this home-building mania is
carried to an extreme. and both the
male and the female birds are affected
by it, They will construct four or five
perfect nests before they make up
their minds in which one to rear their
young. The marsh wrens build In col
onies. and 1t is not unusual to find so
completed nests in a swamp where
only round dozen pairs Of the birds
have an abiding place. Scientists have
tried for years to solve the problem,
the answer to which will be the rea-
son for this superfluity of wren homes,
and science is still confronted by
question mark.

use of the pruning knife and has left
a thicket retreat in some secluded cor
ner. The song of the brown thrasher
is inferior in its varied sweetness only
to the song of the mocking bird, and
there are persons who find little to-
choose between the performances of
these rival songsters. The notes of
the thrasher are clear and ringing, and
can be heard upon a calm morning
for the distance of a third OF a mile.
The thrasher takes to tree top and
there, lifting his head heavenward, he
sings uninterruptedly. seeming to lose
himself in the very passion of his
music.
One morning in late April | heard a
thrasher singing from the top of an
Usage orange tree. l lay down on the
grass within the shadow of his tree

bird looked down upon me and sang
and sang again. Almost uninterrupted
ly for ten minutes he continued his
exquisite solo. | fattered myself that
the bird was singing to me, but after a
little there was a movement in the
heart of the tree just below the soloist.
