Besides, variety is the spice of life i \ mi of a Snowbird's. But the boys! Say, Jones, how old are you, anyway? When the first warm days of March bring up the Bluebirds and the Robins, the Juncoes get the spring fever. But they do not rush off to fill premature graves in the still snowy north. The company musters instead in the tree-tops on the quiet side of the w Is, and indulges in a grand eistedd- fi d. I am sure that the birds are a little Welch and that this term is strictly correct. All sins; at mice a sweet little tinkling trill, not very pretentious, but tender and winsome. Interspersed with this is a variety of sipping and suckling notes whose uses are hard to discern. Now and then also a kissing note, of repulsion instead of attraction, is heard, such as is employed during the breeding season to frighten enemies. During the progress of the concert some dashing young fellow, unable fully to express his emotion in song, runs amuck and gi es charging about through the woodsy mazes in a fine frenzy, without, however, quite spilling his brains. Others catch the infection, and 1 have seen a score a1 once in a mad whirl of this harmless excitement. Juncoes linger surprisingly late sometimes, well on into April or even.
