Quite a long name for such small birds—don’t you think so? You will have to get your teacher to repeat it several times, before you learn it. These little yellow warblers are just as happy as the pair of wrens I showed you in April “Birds.”

Lory is the name of certain birds, mostly from the Moluccas and New Guinea, which are remarkable for their bright scarlet or crimson coloring, though also applied to some others in which the plumage is chiefly green.

Why this duck should be called red-breasted is not at first apparent, as at a distance the color can not be distinguished, but seen near, the reason is plain. It is a common bird in the United States in winter, where it is found in suitable localities.
