June Bird-Life. — After Jitne 5 we may be reasonabl}' stire that, 

 with a few exceptions, every bird seen has or has had a nest in this 

 vicinity. Several of the birds which began nesting in April will rear 

 second broods in June, while the young of other April-nesting birds 

 may not leave the nest until June. All the birds that began nesting in 

 May will still be occupied with household affairs in June, and 

 when we add to these the late-breeding species that wait for June 

 before settling their domestic arrangements, it will be seen that 

 among birds Jtine is the home month of the year. 



Nest-building, egg-laying, incubating and the care of the 

 young now make constant and exceptional demands on birds which, 

 in response, exhibit traits which at other times of the year they 

 give no evidence of possessing. Singing now reaches its highest
