Text Appearing Before Image:
the air,hummingbirds, mounted life-like uponswaying wires, amid laces and bewitch-ing blossoms, have seemed as a sacrilegeto them and to their friends, who to-gether watched the unfolding of that un-written idyl among the summer leaves.Mary Catherine Judd. AUGUST. I know tis August, for the milkweed flowerHangs heavy-headed on its stately stem.Soon shall the pale, curved pods, shed silver flossTo broider Autumns robe with shining hem. I know tis August, for the fields of rye No longer wave in shining billowy ranks; But have, like armies, pitched their tawny tents, And streams have shrunken, neath their willowd banks. The harvest fly, with sudden stinging sound,Rings his triangle in the drowsy trees.He bids us note wan Summer drifting by,Her robe scarce stirring in the languid breeze. Subdued bird-music hints of southern flight; ■ At night the katydids begin to call And deep-toned crickets chant of shortening days With coming frosts, and glories of the fall. —Belle A. Hitchcock. 92
Text Appearing After Image:
THE MOURNING DOVE. (Zenaidura macroura.) The breeding and the geographicalranges, both being practically the same,are extensive, covering temperate NorthAmerica from the southern portion ofCanada and British Columbia, southwardward to Panama and the West Indies.The majority of these birds winter southof the more northern states, but somehave been known to remain through thisseason as far north as Ontario. The coo-ing of this Dove, which is one of themost mournful sounds in nature, is alsoone of the characteristic voices of spring.The sadness of its notes, however, do notindicate a mournful nature, for they arenot notes of grief, but, rather, they indi-cate attachment for their mates. The Mourning Dove, also called Tur-tle Dove and Carolina Dove or Pigeon,is to my mind a bird of exemplaryhabits. It is rarely quarrelsome andeasily adapts itself to its favorite locality,placing its nest wherever it seems mostconvenient. The nests of these birdsmay be built in trees, bushes, on stumpsand
