In Ohio it is almost exceptional to find an orchard without its pair of Wood Peweos, Mr. H. C. Oberholser says ; and in Farmington, Connec- ticut, on the grounds of Miss Porter's school and also on the village streets, one of the commonest bird notes is the clear, plaintive pee'-ah-ime of the sweet-voiced Flycatcher. Once luaid and listened to, the note will never be forgotten. Some birds' songs, like the ordinary one of the Mockingbird, impress you as matters of execution and at times of gossip, but the minor call of the Wood Pewee seems tlie simi)le, sincere utterance of the heart. Of course the Pewee, being mortal, is not always in poetic mood, and in its commonplace moments it has a rapid, twittering twit'-ter-rah, given with quivering wings and tail. Mrs. Miller says it has also a low, pleasing song. The voice of the Wood Pewee is recognized quickly, but the bird itself is a little hard to find.
