here tonight.

Accompanied by my daughter,
Rose Ellen, at the piano,

here he is, in that selection
which clearly demonstrates...
:06:13
why, for 11 years in a row,
:06:15
he's won the Eastern Seaboard
Bird Calling Contest.

Our own Abner Peacock.

"Summer in the Meadow,"
by Eloise Dudley Fetlock.
:06:44
On a warm summer's day
as we wend our way
:06:49
Through the fields
smelling sweetly of heather
:06:53
As we stroll along
let us hark to the song
:06:58
Of our dear, little
friends of the feather
:07:03
Greeting his guests
is the robin redbreast
:07:10
From the foliage lush
comes the song of the thrush
:07:18
The kingfisher's bark
:07:20
The gay meadowlark
:07:23
The turtledove's croon
:07:25
The laugh of a loon
:07:27
Is that a snipe
:07:29
No, a friendly bobwhite
:07:32
The herring gull's howl
Hoot of an owl
:07:35
Mallard duck's cackle
Blue-bellied grackle
:07:38
A coot, hawk
A crow, an auk
:07:42
A finch, a swallow
A quail
:07:46
Tit willow
:07:49
A grouse, a rook, a turkey
:07:52
But look
:07:54
There, overhead majestic and
regal The king of them all
