Then he was lost in the obscurity, and in a few seconds there rained down upon us the notes of his ecstatic song a novel kind of hurried, chirping, smacking warble. It was very brief, and when it ceased, we knew the bird was dropping plummet-like to the earth. In half a minute or less his "zeep," "zeep," came up again from the ground.
