Cependant abondant dans nos maisons pendant les migrations, ce verruleur, fidèle à l'instinct familial, se recentre aux bois les plus toners, pas toujours aussi loin que le Canada, le terrain de nidification de la plupart des parulines, car dans de nombreux États du Nord, l'oiseau est commun tout au long de l'été. Il préfère sans doute de grands arbres toujours verts pour son nid mossy, herbacé; mais il l'est

. Bird neighbors. An introductory acquaintance with one hundred and fifty birds commonly found in the gardens, meadows, and woods about our homes . eded reassuring, ■ possibly due to the rising inflection, like an interrogative, of thelast notes.

For nearly a month longer they hunt incessantly, withmuch flitting about the leaves and twigs at the ends of branchesin the shrubbery and evergreens, for the tiny insects that thewarblers must devour by the million during their all too brief visit. i8s f ^..
