   Bird Lore March, 24th 1938 One of the most common of all living creatures is the bird. Birds are found in nearly every country of the world, each country having its particular kind. Some of the best songsters in this country are the thrush, the robin, the lark and the blackbird. These fill our woods and groves with music in springtime. Birds of prey are so called because they live on other smaller birds or on animals. In this class the most common in this country are the hawk, the magpie, the squall-crow, the owl and the eagle. These birds are the enemies of the country people as they are apt to kill young fowl or steal eggs.
