To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I remember one extreme instance : a wood thrush was singing his differently keyed strains with great power and sweetness. I- was looking through the branches of a thick hemlock, expecting to see him up thirty or forty feet in the tree. Instead of this elevation, he was with- in three or foui? feet of the ground, not twenty feet from me. For a long time he continued his songs, but all tte time with this ventriloquial effect.

the bird may be in quite another part of the woOds ; then again, when the bird is within a few feet of you, the song will appear to come from a distant locality.
Even the familiar robin {Merula migratm'ia) often makes use of this power with good effect. "When he sings at mating time, or to attract attention, or from his innate love of song, he wiU carol away with such an abandon and fuUness of tone that he appears to be much nearer than he really is ; but when he sings exclusively for his mate, or for the newly fledged young, whose presence he wishes to conceal from others, the song is low and tender, often half smothered, or made to appear in another place.
