BIRD of sunshine and good cheer, springtimes ripest offering andemblem of summer achieved, is this happy-hearted creature who flits aboutthe orchards and timber cultures of eastern Washington. The willows ofthe brook, the cottonwoods and the quaking asps, were his necessary homeuntil the hand of the pioneer made ready the locust, the maple and the Lom-bardy poplars, which are now his favorite abiding places. And so, for many. BULLOCKS ORIOLE. years, the droning of bees, the heavy-scented breath of the acacia, and thehigh, clear whistling of the Oriole have been associated memories. A little less dandified than his eastern cousin, the lordly Bird of Balti-more, the Bullock Oriole fulfills much the same economy in habit, song, andnesting as that well-known bird. He is, if anything, a little less muscial,also, and not so conspicuous. The males arrive a week or two in advance of their mates, and appear quiteill at ease until joined by their shy companions. Marriage compacts have to THE BULLOCK ORIOLE. 5i
