NOVEMBER, DECEMBER, JANUARY. 



Inland, in November as well as in December 

 and January, special attention should be given 

 to the Winter Birds that are with us only at that 

 time, or are then particularly in evidence and 

 nearer our homes. 



Observation of some of these, the Kinglets, 

 will carry us into February again. 



During these months, pupils who live near 

 the water will be interested in the Gulls which 

 are upon our bays, inlets, and harbors, and on 

 the piers of our seaports. 



In February and March, and again later, let 

 the chapter upon " How to Domesticate and 

 Tame Birds " be read, and its directions applied.
