One day, recently,. Lucy Was watching: a small figck of
sparrows and a cardinal in the feeding Station. They weren't
eating, but crowded together locking out, apprehensively.
-Then they'd fly -over to the. Cedar hedge, and hi a few minutes
he back again.
LOQIIVrINO THE HAWKS
•
It suddenly dawned on Lucy that they were terrified—
especially the sparrows,
When "1%0." came' • into the hou's'e -and Lucy told linn,
be remarked:: 'yThere Was a pair of hawks flying over here
Oils morning, And on the way. to Clinton to-day, I saw
four—two large ones which at first glance looked like snowy,
They may have been goshawW). and a .smaller pair
which were probably Cooper's hawks . (Hawke usually ring-
nate bet before. the snow came Lucy and her spouse saw
four near Parkhill).
Then it appears there is another predatory bird in BaY-..
•field of whidh the little loirclls• live in terror—a shrike. It
swooped down on a sparrow at Hovey's feeding table. Ernie
went after the shrike, and /while his aim wasnot Al., he
did succeed in. frighten'in'g it so that it dropped the dead
sparrow and moved off in haste.
THE WEATHER REPORTER
. On Sunday morning just at .daybreak, Mrs. J. B. Howard
reports that the big brown owl 'hooted in the swamp. (Time •
was when her dog heard theft alarming "Whool Whop! Whoo!"
if she were letting him out at night, that, he'd back into the
,house again Bilt the7fox terrier now pays no attention to it).
"What ..did it mean this morning?" Lucy asked. -•
"Oh, it had probably been out hunting, and 'concluded its
breakfast ofnroice, or a small bird," she replied. (Her late
husband used to say that it meant snow when the brown owl
,hooted in the swamp. Lucy's • spouse says: "A change in the
weather" and she recalls that the late Fred Baker said,
"Milder weather! Rain!" when the tiny screech owls sent
their raucous notes over the air waves.)
• JAYS' SHUTTLE SERVICE
Menopclizing the feeding station at "The Hut" are a
pair of blue jays, They chase the other birds off, cram their
bills full of sunflower -seeds or other food, and then fly off
to return .in a few minutes for more. Thus they keep up
a shuttle service until . they've depleted the supply.
Mrs. Howard explains • that Bluejays store up against
the proverbial "Rainy Day." They hide food in crevices, and
-a favourite storage spot is in woodpecker's- holes in trees.
• While Lucy and • her spouse like to see the colounful
•bluelays about, they do not approve of them robbing the
other bird's of food. So "Mr." puts out a 'It-teat of sun-
floWer seed about 4:30-4:45 p.m. and then he whistles. And
in no 'time the cardinals .aropear.
WINTER, TAKES ITS TOLL
, Over at Hovey's' feeding table, a purple grackle has,
appeared, He 'sits a'top the loaf of bread, monarch of all
lie surveys!
Final, Mrs, -Carson FaWcett, .RR 1 Brucetield, Lucy
learned of her effort to save a mourning dove. The bird
had stayed around their orchard all Fall, After the first
snowstorm With near zero temperatures, her husband found
it in a snow drift behind the barn, alinosit frozen. ,
- He took it into the heave and it .revived.in, the, warmth.
But despite Mrs. Fawcett's- care and good food, the lovely bird
-died in a few days. Perhaps it had been ailing and hadn't
felt up to migrating.
MUSIC FOR THE BIRDS?
One morning last week "Mr." turned en the rattle:: as
soon as he awakened. When he went to close the windew
old Mr. Cardinal was' perched in- a cherry tree close by,
listening to the music aver Station OKNX.
That same morning when Lucy's husband went out, to
put some scraps of lamb fat in the feeder, Six black-capped
chickadees greeted him in merry song.
"ChickJa-dee-dee-dee! Chick-a-dee-dee-dee! Chick-a-dee-
dee-dee!" they sang as they flew in and out of the feeder.
One landed right at his feet to feast on a scrap he'd dropped.
These are just two peacefully happy incidents in the
war for survival in the bird world.
BAYFrELD MYSTERY BIRD •
And now to the feeding stations in Hayfield has come a
bird which not even Mrs. J. E, Howard can identify. She
saw it last year, too, and recalls that she couldn't find k in
the bird books,
It 'has been seen at their feeding stations by Mrs.., R. B.
Johnston and. Mrs. J. Sturgeon. They say it resembles a
female oriole. Mrs. Howard says it is the shape of a robin
with the same type head and bill. She describes it as about
two-thirds Size of a robin with mustard-coloured body, suf-
fused with orange around the throat, Wank back and tail,
black wings with, two white wing bars.
The nearest she could come to it in searching the bird
books, was that it might be one of the variations of a pine
warbler.
With, the description given, Lucy wonders, after perusal
of Peterson's Field Guide to the Birds, If by any chance k;
could be a female Western Tenger, They have been reported
in Maine and down the test Coasts USA, occasionally.
