pewee

1 We gave up the pewee and went back to the raft-making, talking very fast now, and laughing a lot.

2 Unusual species included a brown pelican, a Mississippi kite, a banded western wood-pewee, a black-throated gray warbler, a prothonotary warbler, and a summer tanager.

3 Down upon him came one, sometimes two pewees.

4 A pewee chorus is a droll and dismal affair.

5 A multitude of gnats circling about in the air, seemed to be precisely to the taste of the pewee parents and their hungry bairns.

6 “There’s your eastern wood pewee,” he says with excitement, steadying the laser on the tree trunk next to the sitting bird.

7 As lavish a minstrel as the pewee pater familias is under most circumstances, that morning he was too busy to tune his wind harp.

8 The common pewee excites the most pleasant emotions, both on account of its plaintive note and its exquisite mossy nest.

9 One day a family of wood pewees visited the dooryard of my tent.

10 The pewees began their pitiful cry of "Lost! lost!" a scarlet tanager sat like a sentinel on a dead branch and challenged them with a sharp single note.

11 While not so ready to be neighbourly as the phoebe, the pewee condescends to visit our orchards and shade trees.

12 “How would you know about a wood pewee in your business?”

13 Latest among the singers are the chewinks, the wood pewees, the field sparrows, and, of course, the goldfinches and the cuckoos.

14 He was delighted with the mill attached to the property, and with the pewees who built their nests near by.

15 But, gentlemen and ladies, in my opinion, the near-sighted was about as much to blame for what happened, as a pewee is for being swallered by a black snake.

16 From the professional ranks down to the pewee level in such contact sports as football and soccer, concussions are much on the minds of medical professionals, coaches, athletic administrators, parents and the athletes themselves.

17 I know both the kingbird and the wood pewee sing, not, to be sure, in a way to be compared to the thrushes, though far excelling the utterances of the warblers.

18 The same is true of the pewees, the king-bird, and the sparrows, while the common bluebird, the oriole, and orchard starling afford examples the other way.

19 A wood warbler, on the contrary, always brings before me the rush and hurry of the world of people, and the wood pewee its under-current of eternal sadness.

20 The wood pewee builds a neat, compact socket-shaped nest of moss and lichens on a horizontal branch.
