"How we jump from the top Of one

"And our nests are so like the

with the moss and twigs and bits Of
bark, which we use for our wall paper
and rugs and furniture.
"We like to nest on old stumps. We
don't care about living in a rich, smart

"And soon the little white eggs will
come out into little birdlings, the deaf
little white eggs with the reddish
brown spots on them!

tiny silk or yarn flowers.
Besides these pretty cotton frocks
here are bloomer suits made of black
taffeta silk with yarn stitching In
bright colOrs for establishment on

"We're not fashionable like some
Of the BIRDS" said Mr.. Brown Creeper.

homes and winter homes"

because of fashion or not that the
birds have summer homes and winter

believe ii is because a great many OF
them cannot stand a cold climate
Some of our family don't like IT SO
well and travel away bit. But most
of us do not mind.
"You see. it is hard on many birds
to stay where 1t is cold, for they only
have their little feathers to keep them
warm, and while feathers are nice ana
warm, il is not always enough to have
only feathers.
Feathers will often blow about In
the wind, and then little bird may
become very cold, indeed.
birds haven't great fur coats to
keep them warm. Yes, Mr.. Brown
Creeper, the birds who go South In
the winter and who travel about to
different climates are the ones who
can't keep warm when the weather Is
so cold"
81 do believe you are right, Mrs.
Brown Creeper. l do believe you are
right. AS you say, it is hard for the
birds to keep warm all winter. I've
often thought about it myself.
"The winter is mighty cold, mighty
cold. But we don't have to think OF
1t now that the warm weather has
come.
"All the birds are singing songs OF
the springtime. We can't join In the
great chorus because our voices are
so low. They have always been low
No one ever hears brown creeper's
voice unless very near to us.
"We give a little low trill and
very low chirp.
"But how we love the woods! How
, we enjoy climbing up the trunks o
trees, looking in the bark for bug
and insects.
