APRIL BIRDS. 19 



ter in Bradford Torrey's ** Birds in the 

 Bush" entitled "A Bird Lover's April," 

 delightful and profitable reading regard- 

 ing our early birds. I must not omit to 

 mention also a book I have already re- 

 ferred to, Thoreau's '* Early Spring in 

 Massachusetts," comprising extracts from 

 his journal, which, however, brings down 

 the season only to about the eighth of 

 April.
