Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Nuttall Ornithological Club, Vol. 5: A Quarterly Journal of Ornithology But after the trees become dense with foliage, and the sense of early summer steals over the land, even the shy reserve of our recluse yields to the subtile influence, and he finds a tongue no less joyous than the rest. Indeed, after the breeding season has fairly begun, he is quite as indefatigable a singer as his Red-eyed cousin. I have heard his cheerful voice all day long when a gloomy storm brooded over the dripping woods, and during the hottest June days' he is rarely silent for any length of time, even at noontide. Nor does cold, blustering weather seem to affect his spirits. I re member shooting one in a tall yellow birch when a high north wind was bending the stoutest trees like so many saplings. The branch to which the little singer clung was lashed about by the blasts, which flouted the leaves and swung the whole tree-top through the air; yet he hardly paused a moment in his strain, though his voice was at times nearly drowned by the rushing wind.
