Tyrant of Carolina, Gate/. Car. i. p. 55,— Am. Zooi. N°
'" p H E bird mentioned by Catejiy muft be very little different!;
indeed he fays, that it makes its neft, rather expofed, on
trees and bufhes, frequently on the faffafras; whereas the Pipiris’
make ufe of the hole of a tree, for the fake of concealing it. In;
Carolina it is a bird -of paffage, coming in fpring,. and making,
one neft in a. year, which is commonly in June, and, after bringing
up its young, retires in autumn.
Thefe birds alfo frequent the red cedars; are feldom found in
woods,.but often in hedge rows, and- fences ©f fields, and for the
moft part within two hundred yards of each other. They do not
rnoleft their own fpecies; but the moment either Crow:, or evert
Eagle, appears, all within reach join, forces, and begin the
attack in all parts of his body at once., never defining till they
have driven him to a great diftance.
Lake George, and Lake Champlain, are the fartheft places, north;
in which they are found in any degree of plenty.
