above the snow, or on spots of bare ground, or on the bushes 

 and trees. They are seldom molested, as one of them is 

 scarcely a mouthful ; but they have the same delicate taste 

 as the quail. Besides the snow bird, the crow, the blue 

 jay, the wood pecker and the partridge, have a degree of 

 hardiness, equal to the severity of our winters, and are then 

 seen flying; all others avoid it, by seeking a timely retreat.

The SWALLOW appears in April, and disappears in August. 

 It was formerly supposed to migrate, but the evidences of its 

 retiring to the water, or marshy ground, and there remaining 

 torpid, during the winter, are so many, that this opinion is now 

 generally received.
