Hirundo Perpurca, The Snowbird is a beautiful, active, , spright- ly, little animal. They are generally of a grey colour, and less than a sparrow. Flocks of them appear, as soon as the snow begins to fall in any considerable quantity ; and generally a day or two before. They perch on the spires of vegetables above the snow, on the bushes, and trees; and collect on the spots of bare ground. In the most severe storms of snow, these birds appear to be the most active and lively. They feed on the seeds of vegetables, aad are extremely fat, and delicious ; but they are too small to be molested on this account. They seem to be of difi'erent colours, black, white, and grey ; but they all disappear as soon as the snow goes off. The Wild Goose, from the beginning of April, to the middle of November, resides. l::'i t t 1 , ' ;;'l f'-i'l â i i I I.
