Many of our principal songsters do not arrive until near the middle of May; and all, whether they come early or late, continue in song throughout the month of June. The bobolink, which is one of the first to become silent, continues vocal until the second week in July.
If I catch Bobby Bobolink there he'll wish he had stayed in the rice fields, down South." Mr. Red-winged Blackbird smiled. And he told old Mr. Crow not to worry. "Bobby Bobolink won't touch the corn," he said. "During the first half of the summer he lives on such things as caterpillars and grasshoppers, with a bit of grass-seed now and then." Old Mr. Crow replied that he was glad to know that.
"And," added Bobolink, also badly winded, though he would chatter; "now to see Paul get one of the other fellows on the line, to wig his wag at us, or do something that sounds that way. There he goes at it. And looky there, they've been watching us climb, I reckon, because almost before Paul made the first sign, that other fellow began sendin'."
The song was exquisitely worded and touching, and the singer's voice was sweet and limpid as the notes of a bobolink. M. Riel, like Mohammed, El Mahdi, and other great patrons of race and religion, is strong of will; but he is weaker than a shorn Samson when a lovely woman chooses to essay a conquest.
Some of these summer storms have a lively advance breeze, you know, boys," Paul suggested. "Little Billie and I'll go over to the boats, and see that the curtains are buttoned down snug. Some of us can stay inside while its rainin' and that'll give more room in the tents," Bobolink remarked, jumping to his feet, with a return of his customary lively Way.
The other three coming up, Jack having joined Bobolink and Tom, found the scout master still on his hands and knees. "Hello! found something, have you?" asked Bobolink. "Mebbe the footprints of the ghost!" chuckled Tom, meaning to be humorous. But Jack saw that his chum was very serious; and as he dropped down beside Paul, he let his eyes fall upon the sand.
I wanted you to see 'em the worst kind, Paul." "A pair of shining eyes, eh? When you moved, did you hear anything, Bobolink?" "Sure I did. It growled just like our dog does at home, when he's got a bone, and anybody gets too near him," the sentry hastened to explain. "Made you think of a dog, did it, and not a cat?" asked Paul, quickly.
And usually Bobby Bobolink would sing with such zest while he was frisking about in the air that it was a marvel to many how he could do two things like that, at the same time, and yet put so much life into each. Old Mr. Crow claimed that the reason why Bobby Bobolink didn't fly straight was because he had his mind too much on his singing. "He's nothing but a music-box with wings," Mr.
We have to take what comes to us Let us then be up and doing, With a heart for any fate. I'm glad I don't have to write poetry like that! June 8th. Howdy-do, Brother Bobolink! How in the world did you guess I was coming this way? Es ist nun einmal so. Kein Dichter reist incognito!
And one day the Hermit even spoke to Bobby Bobolink himself and took him to task, although nobody had introduced Bobby to him. And generally the Hermit wouldn't speak to anybody who hadn't made his acquaintance like that. "Young man!" said the Hermit solemnly, when he chanced to meet the newcomer near the thicket where the Hermit lived, "I'm going to give you a bit of advice.
