This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

(This gives some idea of the bird-life of the little place.) March 17. I notice that the Winter Friends are becoming less and less in evidence. They have not entered the list at all for three days. Where in winter time their cheery notes greeted me in the morning, I am now welcomed by the carol of Song Sparrows, the liquid "Kong-quer-ee" of Redwings and Flickers many notes. Fox Sparrow appeared in all brightness of coat. March 19. I noticed a sort of duet by a pair of Song Sparrows. The birds were in the maple swamp. The bird at the westerly side ended his song with an unsatisfactory note and the bird on the easterly side repeated the song exactly except for the last note which was given lower and of a satisfactory tone for the completion of a strain. As I drew nearer the bird on the west dropped into the bushes, but on hearing the song of the other bird could not help mounting on his bush and answering it, leaving off, however, with an unsatisfactory note as before, whereupon the bird on the east side completed it satisfactorily. March 22. The scattered Winter Friends were the chief attraction. I was able to take down the song I have heard so...
