" N0 bird more deserves the protection) of man than Bewiek's \Vren. 110 does not need man‘s encou‘agement. for he comes of his own aeeord and installs himself as a member of the community wher- ever it suits his taste. 110 is found about the co\\'—shed and barn along; with the Pewee and Barn Swallow; he investigates the pig-st); then explores the garden fence, and finally mounts to the roof and pours forth one of the sweetest songs that ever was heard. Not . . . like the House Wren‘s merry roundela)‘. but a fine. clear. bold song, uttered as the singer sits with head thrown back and long,r tail pend- ent~a song which may he heard a quarter of a mile or more, and in ctmil'mrison with which the faint chant of the Song Sparrow sinks into it significance. The ordinary note is a soft, low plil. uttered as the bird hops about, its long tail 'arried ereet or even leaning for- ward, and jerked to one side at short intervals. In its movements it is altogether more deliberate than either T. Zudorz‘r'z'mms or T. (ti/“don, but nothing can excel it. in quickness when it is pursued ” (Ridgway).
