A FEW OF THE BIRD FAMILY 



The Old Bob White, and chipbird; 



The fliclcr and chce-n'ink. 

 And little hopti/sKip bird 



Along the river brink. 



The blackbird and snowbird. 

 The chicken-hau'k and crane; 



The glossy old black cro:c-bird; 

 And buzzard dorcn the lane. 



The yelloxcbird and redbird. 



The torn-tit and the cat; 

 The thrush and that redhead bird 



The rest's all pickin' at! 



The jay-bird and the bluebird, 

 The sap-suck and the zcren — 



The cockadoodle-doo bird. 

 And our old settin' hen!
