News-Record, Thursday, •Optobar ?$, i969 tine of the most amusing sights in the garden last. week was a blue jay utilizing a small birdbath. for that purpose. A number of sparkows will get into it at once and splash about, sending .the water Then there is not too much left for the blue jay, but he goes through all the motions anyway. Lucy is puzzled to know why be has taken such a fancy to this little bird bath, both as a drinking fountain and for cleansing purposes, with the river just down the hill, A couple of weeks ago a pair of winter wrens seemed to he at home in the garden and. Lucy thought perhaps they'd stay here, but they seemed to have moved on as had the juncos, white-crowned sparrows, American redstarts and other warblers, Mrs. P. DuBoulay was surprised to see a northern waterthrush in her garden on two successive mornings, She had only seen two before (in Quebec) and they were migrating. A northern waterthrush was .also seen in the garden of Camborne House in company with three hermit thrushes. A little flock of six hermit thrushes was sighted near the road to the pier on Thanksgiving Day, evidently resting and feeding on their journey south. The northern waterthrush is really a warbler and nests in widespread locations from the Yukon down through British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, southern Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes to Newfoundland. Their scattered numbers join other birds in migration. They winter from central Mexieo and the West Indies to northern South America. This bird is about six inches long, with olive brown back and head and dots around his yellowish throat. It has yellowish underparts, streaked to distinguish it from the thrush family, You may have seen one at the water's edge, continually teetering or walking daintily like a mechanical toy as does the spotted sandpiper. The northern waterthrush seeks quiet places to nest — in a wooded swamp or beside a gentle stream and built of moss in a bank cavity, or amongst upturned trees. The female lays four or five white or pinkish eggs splotched with brown. Incubation time'is 12 days. The bird pokes under moist leaves in rock crevices for food. Or he may stride along a slanting log or wade right into a swampy pool in quest of aquatic insects. They spend most of their time on or near the ground, although the male, a gifted musician, may perch in a tree to sing a ringing melody which drops rapidly in pitch towards the end, In migration, the northern waterthrush visits city parks and gardens. A small flock of northern robins paused to rest and feed at Pioneer Park on Thanksgiving. Right now it appears that we are on the verge of winter wintry weather to say the least! Flocks of wild geese have been heard passing over during the night. One day when it was dark and gloomy and a shower of hail fell, old Mr. Cardinal went to the feeding station. There was no food there so he looked towards the house rather longingly. "Mr." took out some sunflower seed, but blue jay was right on hand to gobble it up. So we will have to revert to the practice of putting it out at dusk to ensure that the cardinal gets his share. Mr. and Mrs. DuBoulay returned home one day to be greeted by the little chickadees which became so friendly last year. They flew about their heads, bask and forth, asking for attention and food. Mrs. C. Naftel of Goderich told Lucy last fall that her cottage north of Goderich was on a birds' flyway. And when they are migrating they never stop for a human being but fly over or around the person as if he or she were just an old tree trunk. One day her late hesband was reclining in a chaise lounge in the sun on a warm day. A red-breasted nuthatch alighted on his head. He kept very still but the little bird must have sensed that it wasn't perching on wood, so it changed its location to the toe of one shoe and looked-him over very critically as much as to say: "What are you doing here, anyway?" And then went on its way. And at the Hut we mourn the loss of a little downy woodpecker which has given us so much pleasure. Carl found her lying in the grass behind the hedge. HURON COUNTY UNIT of.
