I suspect the bluebirds first told them, for these birds are constantly peeping into holes and crannies both spring and fall. Some unsuspecting bird had probably entered the cavity prospecting for a place for next year's nest, or else looking out a likely place to pass a cold night, and then had rushed out with important news.
I have no doubt that, if it could have been interpreted, it would have proven the rankest and most voluble Billingsgate ever uttered. For the wren is saucy, and he has a tongue in his head that can outwag any other tongue known to me. The bluebirds said nothing, but the male kept an eye on Mr.
Was it a mere coincidence that these swallows, bluebirds, and robins were all crossing the valley just at this point? This question, too, I count it safer to ask than to answer, but all observers, I am sure, must have remarked so much as this, that birds, even on their migrations, are subject to strong local preferences.
The church-clock was striking nine calm, peaceful strokes. There was no tremor in them, no warning of what was coming. The air was very still, and I stopped a moment to watch the bluebirds before I turned into the Lebanon road.
Love had taken absolute possession of his heart, it had hollowed out its nest therein, like the viper in the old Norway ballads, and while ever increasing, consumed it. To see Suzanne, simply the hem of her gown, or her pretty spring hat crowned with bluebirds, to pass near the spot where she breathed and to inhale there some emanation from her, was his promised treat.
A burden had been taken from our minds and hearts, and we went cheerfully on our way. We had learned something, too; we had learned that when in the deep woods you think of bluebirds, bluebirds may be nearer you than you think. "Old Abe" was the war-eagle of the Eighth Wisconsin Volunteers.
Had there been an accident and were these the survivors? Was the troublesome brawler a spoiled "only child"? All questions were settled by the appearance somewhat later of three other young bluebirds who were not cry-babies.
Who has not seen him in his favorite resting-place, the lowest branch of an apple-tree, standing up very straight, crown feathers erected, honest little countenance squarely facing one, motionless and silent, looking the embodiment of wisdom! A pair of bluebirds lived in my house for nearly a year, and the calm, imposing manner of the male I have never seen disturbed.
His first article was made up of three short essays "World Growth," "New Ideas," and "Theory and Practice." Here beyond question is the writer we know: The ideas that indicate the approach of a new era in history come like bluebirds in the spring, if you have ever noticed how that is.
All these things formed only a setting or background for the wild life near by. The birds are the little people that peep out at me, or pause and regard me curiously in this great temple of trees, wrens, chippies, robins, bluebirds, catbirds, redstarts, and now and then rarer visitants.
