May Thirtieth
Judging from the name, one might expect to find the pewee, or wood pewee, in the woods only, but his high plaintive "P-e-w-e-e, p-e-w-e-e," first rising, then falling, coming from the tops of the village shade-trees, is one of the last notes heard at the close of the day. Short as the song is, he frequently sings but half of it.
