- Summary
- Pathe Intertitles - "The Ovenbird - her speckled breast makes her easy to recognize - gets her name from the oven-like nest she builds on the ground."
"Notice how the parent bird softens the grub with her beak, before feeding it to the youngsters..."
"Father Ovenbird is one of the very best bird husbands. He’s always on the job with his hard-working wife ..."
"See the little ones inside?"
"Mother Sandpiper isn’t so fortunate in the husband line. She usually has to manage alone after the honeymoon!"
"Mother Sandpiper was very nervous, for she heard the camera ..."
"The great day finally came - the chicks hatched out! And [illegible] Mother Sandpiper took them for a walk along the stream where they were to live ..."
"But, one little chap climbed a huge mountain of a rock - and got himself lost!"
"His mother was soon after him ..."
"... and after that he trailed behind her very close indeed!" - Keywords
