The Bewick's Wren is often found in the barnyard.
The Winter Wren builds its nest usually in the tree-roots and heaps of brush.
The Marsh Wrens build their nests of a globular shape with the entrance at the side, either attached to weeds or tall grass, near or on the ground.
The Warblers.
This is a very large family; they feed almost entirely upon insects. They are the first to leave upon the approach of winter and the last to come in the spring. They migrate at night and thousands are killed annually by dashing against lighthouses.
The black and white warbler is streaked with black and white and can be readily identified; it can be often seen creeping under branches in search of its insect food.
The yellow warbler. What boy has not seen a "wild canary"? It likes to inspect the gardens and shrubbery around our houses, and consequently may be frequently noticed. There are a great many more in this numerous family.
The Thrushes.
This is another large bird family. In it are the bluebird and the friendly robin; their song is very sweet.
