{Hedge-Sparrow.}
Hedge-Sparrows are here, though few Hedges. They differ scarce any thing
in Plume or Bigness, only I never heard this Whistle,
as the English one does; especially after Rain.
{Wren.}
The Wren is the same as in Europe, yet I never heard any Note she has
in Carolina.
{Sparrow.}
Sparrows here differ in Feather from the English. We have
several Species of Birds call'd Sparrows, one of them much resembling
the Bird call'd a Corinthian Sparrow.
{Lark.}
The Lark with us resorts to the Savannas, or natural Meads,
and green Marshes. He is colour'd and heel'd as the Lark is;
but his Breast is of a glittering fair Lemon-Colour, and he is as big
as a Fieldfare, and very fine Food.
{Red-Birds.}
The Red-Birds (whose Cock is all over of a rich Scarlet Feather,
with a tufted Crown on his Head, of the same Colour)
are the Bigness of a Bunting-Lark, and very hardy, having a strong thick Bill.
They will sing very prettily, when taken old, and put in a Cage.
They are good Birds to turn a Cage with Bells; or if taught,
as the Bulfinch is, I believe, would prove very docible.
{East-India Bats.}
East-India Bats or Musqueto Hawks, are the Bigness of a Cuckoo,
and much of the same Colour.
