Indeed, this bird is sotractable, that I believe any well-directed efforts would never fail ofteaching him to sing any simple melody. But what do we care about his power of learning artificial music? Evenif he could be taught to perform like a _maestro_, this would notenhance his value as a minstrel of the woods. We are concerned with thebirds only as they are in a state of nature. It is the simplicity ofthe songs of birds, as I have before remarked, that constitutes theirprincipal charm; and w...ere the Robins so changed in their nature as torelinquish their native notes, and sing only tunes hereafter, we shouldlisten to them with as much indifference as to the whistling of boys inthe streets. In the elms on Boston Common, and in all the lofty trees in the suburbsas well as in the country villages, are two little birds whose songsare heard daily and hourly, from the middle of May until the latterpart of summer. These are the Warbling Fly-catchers (_Vireo gilvus andV. Olivaceus_). The first is commonly designated as the Warbling Vireo, the second as the Red-eyed Vireo.
