Our high, wide, bright skies seem his proper field, too. His song is a pure ecstasy, untouched by any plaintiveness, or pride, or mere hilarity, — a well- 129 Digitized by Google FRESH FIELDS spring of morning joy and blitheness set high above the fields and downs. Its eflfect is well suggested in this stanza of Wordsworth: — "Up with me! up with me into the clouds!
For thy song. Lark, is strong; Up with me, up with me into the clouds!
Singing, singing.
With clouds and sky about thee ringing.

...ift me, guide me till I find That spot which seems so to thy mind!" But judging from Gilbert White's and Barring- ton's lists, I should say that our bird-choir was a larger one, and embraced more good songsters, than the British.
White names twenty-two species of birds that sing in England during the spring and summer, including the swallow in the list. A list of the spring and summer songsters in New York and New England, without naming any that are charac- teristically wood-birds, like the hermit thrush and veery, the two wagtails, the thirty or more war- blers, and the solitary vireo, or including any of the birds that have musical call-notes, and by some are denominated songsters, as the bluebird, the sandpiper, the swallow, the red-shouldered starling, the pewee, the high-hole, and others, would embrace more names, though perhaps no songsters equal to the lark and nightingale, to wit: the robin, the 130 Digitized by Google ENGLISH AND AMERICAN BIRDS catbird, the Baltimore oriole, the orchard oriole, the song sparrow, the wood sparrow, the vesper sparrow, the social sparrow, the swamp sparrow, the purple finch, the wood thrush, the scarlet tan- ager, the indigo-bird, the goldfinch, the bobolink, the summer yellowbird, the meadowlark, the house Wren, the marsh wren, the brown thrasher, the chewink, the chat, the red-eyed vireo, the white- eyed vireo, the Maryland yellow-throat, and the rose-breasted grosbeak.
