The Baby Robin. 

 M illersburg, I Pennsylvania. 

 Dear Editor : 



While playing in our back yard I 

 heard a great noise and flapping of 

 wings and found a baby robin just 

 learning to fly. 1 hold out my hand 

 to him and he was not at all afraid oi 

 me and hopped on my hand. 1 was 

 holding the little bird when the cam- 

 era man saw us and took our picture, 



IT WAS FUN TO WATCH THE LITTLE ROBIN. 



and while he was taking the picture 

 the mother robin came with a bright 

 red berry and called to the baby robin. 

 He was very hungry and hopped away 

 to his mother She put the berry in 

 his bill and then flew away to hunt 

 more berries. The man set the little 

 robin on a small tree and took his 

 picture all by himself. We left him 

 sitting on the tree and had great fun 

 -watching the old birds feeding him 

 and teaching him to fly.

This picture shows two oak trees 

 which have become firmly united at a 

 joint seven or eight feet from the 

 ground. One is erect, while the other 

 leans with the branches extending to- 

 ward the east. Each is about nine 

 inches in diameter near the ground, 

 and about two feet apart. They seem 



TWO OAK TREES THAT GREW TOGETHER.
