The young had a curious, unbirdlike aspect with threadlike yellow stripes, and looked as if they were wet or just out of the shell. That strain of parasitism in the blood of the cuckoo how long in the history of its race since it mastered it and became its own nest-builder? But a crude and barbarous nest-builder it certainly is.
It is an interesting question which the contrast of the American and European cuckoo thus presents. Is the American species a degenerate or a progressive nest-builder? Has she advanced in process of evolution from a parasitical progenitor building no nest, or is the bird gradually retrograding to the evil ways of her notorious namesake?
When the young are hatched out he still keeps guard. They are not allowed out of the nursery for some time. The watchful parent forces them back if they try to wander out into the perils of the shore-pool. Let us look at another nest-builder the Sand Goby, or Spotted Goby, He is common enough in the pools at low tide, but not easy to find. You can look at him, yet not see him!
By the time he was a month old, he was an expert nest-builder, and, given the material, could build a complete nest for two inside the hour. On the score of meat and drink he had no anxieties. A marshy meadow had been selected by his forbears for colonization.
Her ways are not as the ways of other women, and all her ways are delightful to me. In the end, I suppose, I shall become a nest-builder, for of a surety nest-building is one of her pretty ways. And who shall say which is the worthier the writing of a whole library or the building of a nest? The monotonous days, bleak and gray and soggy cold, drag by.
The Thomisus, a first-class nest-builder, does like the rest: she hoards in her abdomen, but without undue display of obesity, the wherewithal to house her family snugly. Can the expression onustus refer simply to her slow and sidelong walk? The explanation appeals to me, without satisfying me fully. Except in the case of a sudden alarm, every Spider maintains a sober gait and a wary pace.
