But at the same time he spends his time running merrily through the orchard trees, even whispering his husky 'weachy-weachy-twee-twee, tweet' to the old queen apple by the study window." "Is that bird a Warbler ?" asked Nat.

"I thought he was some kind of a Nuthatch or a Woodpecker--he was with a whole lot of them up by the house last week." "I used to think so too," said Rap; "but now I see a difference.

The body and bill of the Nuthatch is stouter, and not such a pretty shape, and his bill almost turns up.

This Warbler is thinner, with a slender bill that curves a little down, like the Brown Creeper's.

Then too, he has smaller and finer stripes than any Woodpecker." [Illustration: Black-And-White Warbler.] "What guild does he belong to ?" asked Dodo.
"To the Tree Trappers; most of the Warblers belong to this, while some have joined the Sky Sweepers, and a few the Ground Gleaners and Seed Sowers." "Look!" said Nat.
