Evening Republican, Volume 22, Number 270, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 November 1919 — Queer-Acting Bird. [ARTICLE]

Queer-Acting Bird.

The yellow-breasted chat is an eccentric bird both when It is singing and in flying. When these birds sing their musical effort seems to require a great deal of flirting of the tall and twisting of the head; and even when they are flying their tall jerks up and down, giving them a strange appearance. . The song of this bird is scarcely worthy of the name, having been called a "series of grotesque syllables.”
