Synopsis
Excerpt from How to Name the Birds: A Pocket Guide to All the Land Birds and to the Principal Water Fowl Normally Found in the New England States, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersery, for the Use of Field Ornithologists
In several cases the same species has been put into more than one list; as where a characteristic color is very inconspicuous, or where a tint is ambiguous. One might see the cat-bird twenty times without detecting the red under tail-coverts and the blotch on the song sparrow's breast sometimes looks black, and sometimes dark brown. A very dark color often passes for black at a distance.
