and Lucy watched them sailing about from her bedroom WindOwe
They are also nesting in Fred Weston's barn and as he leaves
a. door open for them.
Mrs. J. E. Howard saw humming birds on May 0. That is
an early date for them but like all others they apparently rushed
the season. Our pair which has previously rested in a shrub
at Fred Weston's began to build their nest again on May 15,
Sandi the cat is not too popular in this vicinity of late. Eggs
of pigeons nesting over the veranda at "Stovehaven" hatched.
A friend of ours was looking forward to squeals but either Sandi
or a coon which patrols this area, didn't wait for them to develop, -
Mrs. Bell saw two disconsolate nigeons setting on the verandah
roof. Upon investigation the newly-hatched birds had gone.
Also, Sandi got chased home from Westons as he was-showing
too much interest in a nest of young robins in the hedge.
Lucy and Carl deplore the fact that they don't have such a variety ..
of colourful song birds as they had at "The Hut" for some
years. Their friends blame Sandi the Cat, who by the way
turns up his nose at tinned food now. (Carl put a plate outside
for him. He didn't even taste it but walked away with an injured
air, A Blue Jay was quite willing to,eat left Dyers after Sandi
had gone.)
One cannot have everything) The mice, moles and voles
destroyed fruit trees, ate tulips, lilies, Jerusalem artichokes, . -
etc. in the winter 1966-67. Before that the rabbits ate the tender -
vegetables so that Carl had to fence them. And of course in 1966-
67 they did great damage to the fruit trees, girdling them al;ioire,
protections up into the . branches when the snow was deep and
a coating of ice held them up. That was the Winter that Sandi
.stayed in the barn and .adopted Carl.' Last year one often saw •
him with a mouse or a young rabbit. Lucy has not seen one
this year. And while there are rabbits about one sees Sandi chasing
them.
Mr. and Mrs. Wren have decided to build in the house outside
Lucy's window. They were particularly:busy around the middle
of the month and right away the battle for survival starts. The
young English sparrows try to get into the box and both Mr.
Wren and his, wife do their' battle. The sparrow sits there in
front of the Wrens's front door and keeps them from ant:prim-
until he grows tired of bating the Wrens. Then along comes a
Blue Jay and perches on 'the rose rail below the Wren's box
and contemplates the scene below- either he was wondering if
there were anything of food value in the lily-of-the-valley and
Myrtle recently planted against the west wall of "The Hut",
or else he was watching the Wrens gathering sticks.
May 15 being a nice warm, sunny day, Lucy decided to sit out-
side in her wheel chair and' absorb the beauty of the garden. As
she must not sit in the sun, she donned a winter coat and hat and
wrapped a rug about her knees. Literally, the beauty of scene
- was roasted into her! In this protected garden the temperatures
was 86 degrees k'ah. it was no Wonder she was warm,but despite .
clothing and insecticides, one, or two black flies managed to
leave their mark.
One old mother robin was looking out for her fledglings high
on a branch of the pine tree over the road fence. She heard the
song sparrow and • a rose frosted grossbeak across the road..
Then when all was quiet a white crowned sparrow came and de-
voured the seeds of dandelions on the lawn, Lucy looked at
two or three heads of the downy-winged dandelion seeds lying
beneath the bird-feeding station and wished some more "White
crowns" would come along. She saw "White throats" earlier
in the season but they must have been migrating.
After all, Lucy decided that while their garden had been a
treat to bird watchers, we still had some birds about. .The
Downie Woodpecker came to the suet feeder near 'which Lucy
was sitting and so did a black-capped chickadee, And some-
where about this area the brown thrasher is nesting!
