YeomYrciPite with the advent; of spring(
Two or three January someone reported hearing a

Of.course there is often an odd one which 'doesn't migrate,
d Lucy took this into consideration, But anyone hearing
rows in this chStrict this Year on. a mild day may forget about
em being heralds p1 spring returning from a trip south.
There is always, an exception to the rule and on "Greuncl..
og dal y.' while driving to Clinton, "Mr." saw a crow:fiy off
e road and land in a. field around the Seventh and Eighth '
oncessinns, Goderich TPwnshiP, And looking to see where
t had alighted, he was aniazed to see black dots all over the
ields. There were some On the fields South of the Clinton' road,
When speaking of it to Leslie Elliott, mail courier, R, R. 2,
e informed Carl that there 'had been a flock of about a hundred
3 more crows hanging around the Fnurth Concession, Goderich
ownship, all winter. They have been feeding en corn.
The crow is a Wiley bird and he probably looked over the corn
fields on either side of the Bayfield river valley and decided
that with so much wooded land in the area this was a good place
to stay all winter. Perhaps those birds native to this Part were
joined by more nesting grounds farther north.
.Henry Ward Beecher, the 19th Century American preacher,
remarked that if people wore feathers and wings, very few of
them would be clever •enough to be crows.
The crows' fondness for corn and other crops has hardly been
to man's liking. They devour the eggs and young of other birds
also, to their credit, they consume immense •quantities of
grasshoppers, beetles and their grubs and moths. They also feed
on crustaceous reptiles, small mammals and carrion. Frequently
they locate near a town dump.
Crows are not protected by law but are so canny that they have
learned the range of a gain. It is most difficult to shoot one.
Some hunters believe they can smell the gun powder. But'it may
be that their scouts and sentinel birds are more alert than
humans in the same positions.
Scouts lead the flock into new feeding grounds and sentinels
are on guard while they feed
In Fall and Winter they may have, to scour wide areas for food.
Towards sunset, they head directly for their roosts, thus giving
rise to the term in distance "as the crow flies."
Young crows may become family pets, learn to talk and do
tricks, but more frequently than not they become nuisances.
The crows will proclaim spring when it arrives but an odd
"cawl caw!" now and again is no more sign that it is here than
the Groundhog not seeing his shadow.
However, Mrs. J. E. Howard did find an encouraging sign on
February 6 when she picked a blue periwinckle in her garden.
At 'Mrs. Howard's bird feeder, the previous day had been a

Of the species noted here for two years.
And while visiting at "The Hut" Mrs. M. Durham identified
a tufted titmouse in Bell's cherry tree. Only the one bird appeared
so it was probably in company with chickadees and juncos. As
far as Lucy knows it has not been seen in this area before.
The vernacular family name "Titmouse" comes from the Anglo-
Saxon, "tit" means a very small .object and "mouse" is a coy.
ruption of mase, an ancient name for small birds of the titmouse
group. And so it would seem that this little bird which varies in
size from 3 3/4 to 6 inches came from the Old World, originally.
The tufted titmouse makes so much noise that he is generally
heard before he is seen. His favourite haunt is in a grove of
deciduous trees where he feeds upon insects, their eggs small
aeons and meaty seeds.
He is said to come fearlessly to the feeding station for offerings
