pewee

Presently he had the little girl listen to a pewee twittering in a thorn-bush and the lusty call of a robin from an apple-tree.

This bird differs chiefly in its lighter coloring, but not in habits, from the black pewee of the Pacific slope.

The slightly larger size of the phœbe and pewee is not always apparent when they are seen perching on the trees.

Now and again, as they rustled some low tree, a pewee or a nuthatch would give a startled chirp.

One thing must be said, however, in defence of the western wood-pewee—he means well.
