Rambling 'with .'‘Lucy • BY LUCY R. WOODS Mrs. J. E. Howard asks: "Where have all our birdies gone?" In driving about Ontario after the leaves had fallen she noticed that, whereas in years gone by, four or five nests would show up in a large tree, now there is often one or none in the trees. On the ten mile stretch of road between Mooretown and Sarnia, lined.with oak trees, she only saw one oriole's nest last autumn. That set. Lucy thinking. The orioles have been absent from the garden at "The 'Hut" for several years, These beautiful song birds feed on insects, one of the chief sources of which are blossoms. Could it be that their numbers have been depleted by eating insects which have absorbed poison from poison sprays on fruit trees? If we haven't orioles nests in our garden we have more than enough robins nesting here. Carl observed the other evening that he hadn't heard an owl this winter which is rather unusual. Mrs. Howard writes that a little, screech owl sat on a picnic table near her bedroom window one night. She was encouraging its return by putting a bit of raw meat out on the table at night. And speaking of feeding the birds, J. E. Hovey counted 21 cardinals at their feeding station just at dawn, one morning. Another day Mrs. Hovey counted 20. They are enjoying a little flock of about 12 pine siskins. One of 'them is the boss and he keeps all the birds away until he has had his fill much to the frustration of black capped chickadees. Mrs. Hovey has observed that no more than one chickadee is in the station at' a time. One picki up a sunflower seed and flies away before another follows suit and so on as lOng as the seed lasts. Also visiting this feeder are a pair of white breasted nut hatches, gold finches and about 16 evening gosbeaks have paid a couple of calls. From Phillip Du Boulay who keeps a systematic bird count all year, Lucy learned that in October about 50 pine siskins and 20 juncos rested there in migration. A few pine siskins came back in January. The red polls migrated in November but there is still an odd one about the village now. Gold finches, tree sparrows and juncos come to their feeding station as well as chickadees. But the latter are more shy than those which fed out of Mr. Du Boulay's hand last year. In., the fall they returned home from a trip and were greeted by their little feathered friends, flying about their heads, begging , for food but they seem to have moved on. Out in the country there are numerous snow buntings and a few red tail hawks. In Janbary he sighted a red breasted nut hatch. Amongst all the birds-which came to H. H. Ormond's feeder, he recently saw a towhee. Birds are very choosey about feeders. They seem to have ,to become accustomed to a new one. The Reverend E. J. B;illarrison put out a new feeder which is squirrel proof. He has onlyd.,seen a pair of juncos at it one day last fall. For two years, Mrs. C. Bell kept such a one filled but not even sparrows went near it until the winter 1969, when Carl was in hospital and no food put out at "The Hut." This year we have two pairs of cardinals. Carl puts the feed out after five o'clock and they'll be there at dusk and in the early morning. Lately, they've been coming in the daytime, both male and- female. Lucy watched Mrs. Cardinal there one day alone and thought her very perky. Carl noticed this too, and wondered if spring were really coming early this year. Two, pair of blue jays also visit the feeding station regularly. Lucy doesn't often hear them but she, was told that there are quite a number in the cedars on the river bank and that they made a great noise screaming about the change of weather in our January thaw. Over a month ago, inside a minute, one morning, Carl looked out the kitchen window and saw a tufted titmouse, two downie woodpeckers, male and female cardinals, several chickadees and a whity breasted nut hutch in Bell's big cherry tree. Last week he spotted a red-breasted nut hatch at the suet feeder. Lucy can look out any time of the day and see chickadees or a downie woodpecker hanging on it. We have yet to hear a report of a crow, but in Mooretown one announced its presence on January 17. So we'll probably soon hear. the familiar "caw-caw" announcing that spring is nigh in this district. Whether the groundhog went to sleep again or not the 'coons are awake! Carl saw their tracks in the sand in the driveshed. Lucy hopes they don't mistake the chimneys at "The Hut" for hollow trees!
