SMALL BIRD TALK 





PHOTOGRAPH OF PIKE COUNTY OVEN BIRD'S NEST. 



In Spruce Swamp their song is constantly ring- 

 ing, or rather going in spirals, on all sides of the 

 daring explorers who brave the bog, fallen trees 

 and tangled rhododendron thickets which form the 

 underbrush in this swamp. 



This spring while walking through the woods, 

 now called Waldheim by the real estate men, but 

 what we Flushingites formerly knew by the name 

 of Macdonald's Woods, I heard a voice crying: 



Quick! Quick! Quick! 

 Look-a-here ; Look-a-here ! 



Three; Three. 

 Yellow-link ! Yellow-link ! 



Pretty Bird, Pretty Bird! 

 Wheat Oh! Wheat Oh!
