Woods) Is our "way of life" affecting the birds as well as' our children? With one of the highest living standards in the world, juvenile crime is said to be on the increase within our borders. Some writers are of the opinion that the youth of today is handed too much, In many cases they do not know what it is to earn what they want/ They have everything they wish with no, responsibility in the home. Good living has made them ,soft. They take to getting things the easy way with the result that frequently the pattern of their lives in Changed. Aren't we, in our desire to have the pleasure of the birds with us, Otiite unwittingly changing the pattern of their lives? It is a well-known fact that more and more birds winter in this, their summer habitat, because they are so well fed. Not so many years ago an Evening Grosbeak in this district was a rare sight. Now they are often seen in large numbers, The ,.Evening Grosbeaks do not stick to one locality. They travel about erratically in Mlocks. They have scouts which locate feeding grounds for the flock. Their natural food is seeds and buds. They are partic- ularly fond of maples and box-elder. Although 'there have been reports of them feeding here and there in the village during the last few years, the flash of 'their bright plumage—yellow, silver gray, black and white—was only seen at "The Hut" on two occasions. Now, the scout has discovered, apparently, that there are some sunflower seeds left in the feeding station after "Mr." has fed 'the cardinals, black capped chickadees, spar- rows land juncos the previous evening. So 'they descend on the feeding 'station 'in numbers every morning, drive off the other birds, tumble over each other in their greediness for the sunflower seeds, and spread out on the ground below to pick up any dropped seeds. These beautiful birds have probably stolen the feed put out for other birds at 'a good many other feeders in Bayfield. Recently, some visited as farm not too many miles away and the good wife telephoned Lucy to know what they were and what she could feed 'them to keep them coming. Likewise, Lucy's sister was thrilled when seven pair descended on the juniper trees at "Middlewood" and cleaned off the berries. She viewed their activities through glasses and was intrigued by their mannerisms. She noticed a scout 'there 'the day before but has not seen them since. Yet sunflower and squash seeds remained in a feeding station there all one winter, and not a bird took one seed, in years gone by. Sunflowers were planted in the garden 'and the' heads harvested for the birds—only the mice were interested. At "The Hut" one feeder has millet seed 'for the small birds and the other has suet, grit and sunflower seeds. The most adept at shelling sunflower seeds is the gay little black capped chickadee--at least Within Lucy's range of vision. He picks it up, flips it on the wing or the porthole of the station in such a deft manner that the shell flies off and he has the kernel in his !bill. And he flies off to feast on it. No Millet for 'him if the sunflower seed is available! The little Downie Woodpecker comes every day for suet. Old Mr. Cardinal sits out their looking toward the house, chirping 'his displeasure until Lucy's spouse takes notice and carries out 'the seeds for 'the old boy and his relatives. But actually he never seems very hungry. It is more like force of habit prompting him to demand food. The blue jays which used to come and scream over the tid-bit's they found do not come to "The Hut" now —perhaps the Evening Grosbeaks have driven them off! And to the pattern of life seems 'to be changing for the birds. Ad example of •this is seen in the report which Lucy received recently that a male partridge was Seen sitting up in an ironWoOd tree in the village within a block of Main Street West, busily picking off the 'buds. No one was setting out food for him, but he was in much closer to the business section than partridge usually dare to come. Who knows, maybe in 'time he and his hen will be demanding a hand out like the Cardinals! and Mr, Harold Sinins son, Mr. and Mrs, William Barber, St. Thomas, were also in 13ayfield. .for the weekend.
