Bird - Lore 



and published by Ginn Company in 1902: "If you are walking or riding 

 on a country road well-lined with shrubs and trees, I should be surprised if 

 you do not before summer ends, looking up, see the male Indigo bird — a little 

 blue canary you will think — on the outer end of a high twig; or, once in a 

 summer, you may come upon the dust-colored mother dusting herself as 

 mother-hens do, and coming from her bath feeling as clean as you do coming 

 from yours." — Ethel M. Weymouth, North Berwick, Maine.
