Text Appearing Before Image:
ide,And flaps his shining wino-s, His neck, how long ! how long his legs ! Near five feet high is he !And what a bill! And then how fine His scarlet coat must be ! 1 THE GREBE. THE KINGFISHER. Only in far-off marsh and mereThe Grebe will build her nest; Observe her tawny drooping ruff,Her large and dusky crest! Upon the streamlets reedy bankThe quick Kingfisher see ; Soon, soon within his long sharp billA quivring fish will be. HUMMING BIRDS. THE LYRE BIRD. Like winged jewels they dart and shine. Their feathers all aglow;And as they flash through air, their wings Like sparks of colour show. In far Australian wilds this bird Will traveller admire;With upraised tail that takes the shape Of graceful classic lyre. THE JAY. THE MAGPIE. Methinks the Jays a noisy bird,Yet now with crimson breast, Silent and fond, she watches oerThe treasures of her nest. From bush to bush, from bough to bough. The chattering Magpie flies ;With wings of black and white, curved bill, And restless shining eyes.
