. Ways of wood folk. Animal behavior. V. AN ORIOLE'S ^.m4/ OW su^oestive it is, swinging there throuoh sunlitrht and shadow from the 7^Tr'|7)A I long drooping tips of the old ehn boushs ! And what a deliohtful cradle for the 3'oung orioles, swayed all day long by every breath of the summer breeze, peeping through chinks as the world sweeps by, watching with bright e}-es the bo)' below who looks up in vain, or the mountain of hay that brushes them in passing, and whistling cheerily, blow high or low, with never a fear of falling ! The mother bird must feel very comfortable about it as she goes off caterpillar hunting, for no bird enemy can trouble the little ones while she is gone. The black snake, that horror of all low-nesting birds, will never climb so high. The red squirrel — little wretch that he is, to eat young birds when he has still a bushel of corn and nuts in his old wall — cannot find a footing on those delicate branches. Neither can the crow find a resting place from which to steal the young; and the hawk's legs are not long enough to reach down 69.
