The Bluebird 



n 



after the trees are stripped of their leaves he still lingers over 

 his native fields, as if loth to leave them. About the middle 

 or end of November few if any Bluebirds are seen; but with 

 every return of mild and open weather we hear their plaintive 

 note amidst the fields, or in the air, seeming to deplore the 

 devastations of winter. Indeed the Bluebird appears scarcely 

 ever totally to forsake us, but to follow fair weather through 

 all its journeyings till the return of spring. 



Geographical Distribution 



During the summer the Bluebird is found throughout the eastern 

 United States and as far west as the Rocky Mountains; it ranges as 

 far north as Nova Scotia, Ontario and Manitoba. In winter it 

 migrates in flocks from the northern regions, flying to Cuba and the 

 southern States, where it may be found all winter. As far north as 

 the latitude of New York a few are generally present throughout the 

 winter.
