My home is on an island where it is very warm. I fly among the tall trees and eat fruit and insects. See my beautiful feathers. The ladies like to wear them in their hats. The feathers of my wife are brown, but she has no long tail feathers.

What a beautiful creature this is! A mounted specimen requires, like the Snowy Owl, the greatest care and a dust tight glass case to preserve its beauty. Dr. Coues’ account of it should be read by those who are interested.

This is an American bird, and has been described under various names by various authors. It is found in the lower parts of Pennsylvania and in New England, particularly in autumn, when the berries of the sour gum are ripe.
