Another advantage | is that the trees are still bare and it is easy to -see the birds. hen you go birding, be sure to a small note book n your et, and, if possible, dn opera s in your hand. Go to some good birdy place—the city park: and grounds, the Zoological or Rock Creek parks, or the country outside, where you can find the bushy bank of a stream or an old cedar and pine field. When you have found a good place, sit down out of sight, with your back to the sun, and wait to see what comes. Watch the trees for move-: ment, and when a bird appears ‘bear on hard’ with your eyes, as John Burroughs would have said. “First decide on the bird’s size com- pared with an English sparrow, a robin and a crow. Then make out the color and markings,, it any, on head, breast, back, wings and tail. Finally have | The Invaluable Lemon.

We are fortunate to have him with us all the year round, ex- cept for brief periods in midwinter, when unusual cold or storms driv him farther south. but with the first mild breath he returns, and on_any bright day after the middle of Feb- ruary we may hear his glad prophecy of spring.
