N numerous occasions in the early
part of the summer had heard
strange low sounds from the heavy
beech woods The strangeness and
the conversational quality of the noise
fixed my attention and at length I
determined to investigate. At first I
thought it an animal, then I concluded
that it must be bird and then again
I gave it up entirely. For a number
of days strolled down into the heavy
shade of the woods and through to the
pasture on the far side, but could hear
nothing at all like the noise which
had first attracted ME. All-the birds
appeared perfectly silent except an
energetic little pewee which would fly
down in front of me, pick up an in

to his favorite resting place on
