You see that it takes up much less room than the birds that are set up in my cases, and is more easily carried about." "He looks like a little Thrush," said Olive, "except that he is too green on the back, and the stripe on his head is of a dingy gold color.
That is why he is often called the 'Golden-crowned Thrush,' though he is not a Thrush at all, but one of the American Warblers, and the crown is more the color of copper, than like the gold on the Golden-crowned Kinglet's head.

Perhaps the Kinglet is called after new, clean gold, and this 'Thrush' after old dusty gold." All this time Rap had been looking intently at the Warbler without saying a word; then he said suddenly: "Why, it's the bird that builds the little house-nest on the ground in the river woods! The nest that is roofed all over and has a round hole in one side for a door! I'm so glad I know his name, for it isn't in my part of the Nuttall book and the miller doesn't know what he is called.

Is he named Ovenbird because he has a door in one side of his nest like an oven ?" "Yes, Rap, the nest is shaped like the kind of oven that Indians used.
Tell us about the one you found." "I was sitting on the bank where it goes down a little to the river, and the ground there was humpy with bunches of grass.

A little bird like this Warbler ran from between two of the grass humps and picked about on the ground for a minute and then ran back.

I thought he had gone into a hole, but pretty soon he came out again and flew up through the bushes to a tall tree a little way off.
