Book Description
Excerpt from Brewster's Warbler In dealing with the observations pertaining to the first category one is seriously embarrassed in many cases by the insufficiency of the evidence adduced to show that the birds observed were mated. In some cases, indeed, the ob server has failed to give any facts whatever to establish the conjugal relation, whatever good evidences he may have had and withheld from publication. This is very regrettable in a matter of so much interest. To one who has perused the foregoing pages it will be clear that the mere association at a certain time of a male and a female is not enough to prove that they are paired. In the lack of a protracted series of observations the evidence of conjugal union obtained by seeing the male feed the female, or the male and female feed the 'young will be accepted by every one who is familiar with the life of these birds as conclusive.
