    RUFFED GROUSE Bonasa Umbellus CREDIT CURRENT YOUTUBE VIDEO WALDEN: As I sit at my window this summer afternoon, hawks are circling about my clearing; the tantivy of wild pigeons, flying by twos and threes athwart my view, or perching restless on the white-pine boughs behind my house, gives a voice to the air; a fishhawk dimples the glassy surface of the pond and brings up a fish; a mink steals out of the marsh before my door and seizes a frog by the shore; the sedge is bending under the weight of the reed-birds flitting hither and thither; and for the last half hour I have heard the rattle of railroad cars, now dying away and then reviving like the beat of a partridge, conveying travellers from Boston to the country.... The whistle of the locomotive penetrates my woods summer and winter, sounding like the scream of a hawk sailing over some farmer’s yard, informing me that many restless city merchants are arriving within the circle of the town, or adventurous country traders from the other side. As they come under one horizon, they shout their warning to get off the track to the other, heard sometimes though the circles of two towns. RUFFED GROUSE HDT WHAT? INDEX RUFFED GROUSE DIFFERENT DRUMMER WALDEN: When the ground was not yet quite covered, and again near the end of winter, when the snow was melted on my south hill-side and about my woodpile, the partridges came out of the woods morning and evening to feed there. Whichever side you walk in the woods the partridge bursts away on whirring wings, jarring the snow from the dry leaves and twigs on high, which comes sifting down in the sunbeams like golden dust; for this brave bird is not to be scared by winter.

HABITS OF THE WARBLING VIREO By HARRY C. MONK. As no one seems to have written or1 the habits of the Warbling Vireo in Tennessee the following sketch may be of interest. It is based upon general observations made over a period of years, chiefly in the Centennial Park colony, in Wnshville. The chosen haunts of this vireo are groves of medium sized trees growing about houses or in parks. Like the Rubin this species clings to man's lawns and shade trees. Not many such situations are occupied by the birds as they are very locally distributed. Spring arrival is in April, with the dates spread over the first threc weeks of the month, in a period of years. Eariiest is April 5, 1931. Usually but one or two birds are seen at first, with the ~e~~~aindercorning ill soon after.
