Butler says, They have a peculiar lisping note, uttered in a monotone varying in pitch. As they sit among the branches of an early Richmond cherry tree in early June, the note seems to be inhaled, and reminds me of a small boy who, when eating juicy fruit, makes a noise by in halation in endeavoring to prevent the loss Of the juice and then exclaims, 'how good!' As the birds start to y, each repeats the note three or four times. These notes develop into a song as the summer comes on; a lisp ing, peculiar song that tells that the ocks are resolving into pairs as the duties of the season press upon them. After the pairing season there is a great show of affection between the two birds, which Often continues long after the nesting season has closed.
