10 Birds of Lezviston-Auburn 



pecker's ''tap, tap," or a nuthatch's "yank, yank," is heard. 

 The sparrow hawk, followed immediately by bluebirds, 

 robins and blackbirds arrives and soon, perhaps the next 

 day, song sparrows, j uncos, meadowlarks and fox spar- 

 rows are seen. Then every bird lover gets busy, for one 

 must go out in the morning for best results. 



Those first spring morning choruses after the silence 

 of winter are as H. K. Job says "the symphony of 

 Nature, a grander one than even the immortal Beethoven 

 could devise." 



In April the last winter birds go north. During the 

 warm days of this month there will be migrations, then 

 long cold spells which retard the passage of the birds, 

 but May keeps us busy all the favorable days and we 

 see the last migrants arrive either to live with us or to 

 pass on to summer homes in the North by the first week 

 in June, if the season is normal.
