Evening Republican, Volume 23, Number 23, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 January 1920 — The Ring-Ouzel. [ARTICLE]

The Ring-Ouzel.

The migrant rteroasei builds year after year tn a granite quarry, and I have often heard him there. It is a solitary, forgotten place and he knows it better than most people. ... His song differs from the intimate music of his kinfolk, the blackbird and thrush. It Is thinner, colder, sabre else —the pare tinkle of a mountain brook. With some birds you Ml Bat they you to listen to them; not eo the shy ring-ousel. Oue pajA something in time and patience* for his song, and values it the more.— M* Philpotts.
