{2d. sort.}
There is another sort call'd the Ground-Mocking-Bird. She is
the same bigness, and of a Cinnamon Colour. This Bird sings excellently well,
but is not so common amongst us as the former.
{Cat-Bird.}
The Cat-Bird, so nam'd, because it makes a Noise exactly like young Cats.
They have a blackish Head, and an Ash-coloured Body,
and have no other Note that I know of. They are no bigger than a Lark,
yet will fight a Crow or any other great Bird.
{Cuckoo.}
The Cuckoo of Carolina may not properly be so call'd,
because she never uses that Cry; yet she is of the same Bigness and Feather,
and sucks the Small-Birds Eggs, as the English Cuckoo does.
{Blue-Bird.}
A Blue-Bird is the exact Bigness of a Robin-red-breast.
The Cock has the same colour'd Breast as the Robin has, and his Back,
and all the other Parts of him, are of as fine a Blue, as can possibly be seen
in any thing in the World. He has a Cry, and a Whistle. They hide themselves
all the Winter.
{Bulfinch.}
Bulfinches, in America, differ something from those in Europe,
in their Feathers, tho' not in their Bigness.
