One bird, it is true, I found in this hammock, and not elsewhere: a single oven-bird, which, with one Northern water thrush and one Louisiana water thrush, completed my set of Florida Seiuri.

Oven-bird, Oxalis, yellow, Papaw, Paroquet, Partridge-berry, Pelican: brown, white, Persimmon, Phoebe, Pipewort, Poison Ivy, Poppy, Mexican, Quail, Rail: Carolina, clapper, king, Redbird (Cardinal Grosbeak), "Ricebird".

Noisy oven-birds haunted these trees.

The oven-birds, which had the carriage and somewhat the look of wood-thrushes, I am sure would prove delightful friends on a close acquaintance; they are very individual, not only in the extraordinary domed mud nests they build, but in all their ways, in their bright alertness; their interest in and curiosity about whatever goes on, their rather jerky quickness of movement, and their loud and varied calls.
