To avoid THE BLACKBIRD. 535 tliis evil it resorts to our gardens and our orchards seeking pro- tection from man, near whose haunts those rapacious plunderers are careful of approaching : yet they will at times attempt to seize upon its eggs even there, when the thrush attacks them . And drives them away with a hawk-like fury; and the noisy warfare of the contending parties occasionally draws our atten- tion to them. The call of the young birds to their parents for food is unusually disagreeable..., and reminds us of the croak of a frog.
