 under the alias of Beedbird, are abundant where the 

 wild rice grows. 



August is practically the last month of the nest- 

 ing season as well as of the song season. The late- 

 breeding Goldfinch and AVaxwing are occupied with

 these exceptions, birds are rarely found nesting in 

 August.
