THE VOICE, MOVEMENT AND MIGRATION OF BIRDS. 
[Taken from Apgar’s "Birds of the United States.” All interested in birds 
should have this book.] 
“The sounds made by birds are so peculiar, and so different 
from those that can be represented by letters, that any attempt to 
form such sounds into words is sure to prove more or less of a fail¬ 
ure. The only successful way to learn a bird by its notes, is to see 
the bird while hearing it. Afterwards the sounds will reveal the 
bird. Beginners can hardly appreciate the- variety of notes a 
single bird can make. Some have thought the only noises a catbird 
makes are those made when disturbed. The fine songs of birds are 
always made when undisturbed. Birds sing different songs at dif¬ 
ferent seasons, but the finest of all are those' made during the nest¬ 
ing time. 
“A number of birds that seem to have no vocal powers during 
the greater part of the year, sing sweetly in the spring.
