158 MARCH 



When he flies he uses his tail as a rudder. 



He can pick beechnuts. 



He can catch crayfish without being bitten. 



Flocks of blackbirds come from the south 

 together. 



They make a great deal of noise in the early 

 spring. 



They may be seen and heard in the tops of 

 tall trees. 



Some one says : 



" Their song is like pepper and salt to the 

 ear." 



It is not a beautiful sound. 



But when we hear it, we know that spring 

 has really come. 



BLUEBIRDS AND ROBINS

Once upon a time there was a beautiful Ind- 

 ian girl. 



Her name was Wenonah. 



All the animals loved her. 



The wild cat carried his children to her. 



The deer knelt at her feet.
