THE BIRD PERCH 



When the first robins and bluebirds showed themselves from the 

 South, I decided to try something that seemed to me original, namely 

 the erection of a bird perch. I first cut a pole in the woods and brought 

 it up to the house, then I fastened to the top of it the limb of a tree 

 which had been trimmed down to a few leafless branches. Digging a 

 fairly deep hole in the ground, in the middle of the nearby hayfield, I 

 set my bird perch in it securely. 



It had not been up more than fifteen minutes before a bluebird 

 perched on it. The perch being quite distant from any tree suggested a 

 pleasant resting-place for him as well as for other birds. It is a pleasure 

 to watch this perch at any time, but especially in June, when the birds 

 are numerous. I have seen many different species sitting on it and 

 sometimes two at once, but my most regular patron was the kingbird. 

 All during the season he could be seen there almost any time perched 

 on the tip of the highest branch, whence he would suddenly dart into 

 the air, seize his prey and return to the perch again
