2Chee-wee“Chee-wee, chee-wee, chee-wee, chee-wee,” says Red-start. “Will you look at me? I may not sing the sweet-est note, But see my black and or-ange coat! It helps me on my hunt for food. The little bugs can’t tell what to do when I flash them with my or-ange hue.”

4Wild ChildHum-ming Bird is a dainty thing. He has no voice; he can not sing. He flits a-bout and softly sips a sweet drink from the flow-ers’ lips. He may come off as meek or mild. But when you watch him fly, that Hum-ming Bird is a real wild child.

6Blue-birdThe time draws near, the best time of the year. With a flash of a crisp blue wing, Blue-bird comes to say it’s spring. He sets his mind to make his nest up in the tree which he finds best. He looks for a little hole in a tree where he can keep his young fam-i-ly.

8Screech OwlsIt seems to me you may have heard that an owl is a wise old bird. Little Screech Owl and his wife live such a happy help-ful life. This pair of owls roam the trees. They ask, “May we feast here, please? You will hear no screech-es; you will hear no howls.” These two birds are the kind-est owls.
