The black-headed grosbeak, too, is here, with the Bullock oriole, and western tanager, brown song-sparrow, hermit thrush, the purple finch, a fine singer, with head and throat of a rosy-red hue, several species of warblers and vireos, kinglets, flycatchers, etc.
O Sin, O Nannar! mighty one ... O Sin, thou who alone givest light, Extending light to mankind, Showing favor to the black-headed ones, Thy light shines in heaven ... Thy torch is brilliant as fire; Thy light fills the broad earth. Thy light is glorious as the Sun ... Before thee the great gods lie prostrate; The fate of the world rests with thee.
See that straight, strong, black-headed desert girl in chaps and a Stetson? Look at the brown of her! Look at her stride! Queen o' the earth, hey? That's the kind of a woman for a man with the body of an elephant and the imagination of a poet, like you've got. There's a girl worth sighin' for, only she wears leather chaps! Well, out we go. Palada for a toehold on the ladder o' fame and fortune!"

Certain red-headed and certain black-headed and certain green-headed pins came to be very well known and familiar in the course of time.
The little black-headed snowbird, Thurber's junco, is the most common of all the Tahoe birds. The thick-billed sparrow, a grayish bird with spotted breast and enormous bill is found on all the brushy hillsides and is noted for its glorious bursts of rich song.
The Virginian followed his own question: "Bed strikes me," he stated. Steve feigned indifference. He was far more deeply absorbed in his bet and the American drummer than he was in this game; but he chose to take out a fat, florid gold watch, consult it elaborately, and remark, "It's only eleven." "Yu' forget I'm from the country," said the black-headed guy.
