FOR THE BIRDS FIELD DAY.

Near my home is one of great many picturesque
that to mind being worth speaking Of
anlpitheater in which the birds
The leaves have blown off from part and when
the wind blows its hardest they form kind of canopy
where the birds will sit to take pleasure in
the way nature has fixed this place. Some of the leaves
turned up, bent, and sideways, and
some form a roc leaves yellow all

abode for birds and giving the such featuresome
beauty, which cannot be described.
