WOODS birdnotes had gone into print, But since, at time of writing, we are having near zero temperatueee it still carries a note of hope for an early spring. • Friday, February 6, 1978. ''Dear Just a little note to cheer you up, We are Sitting by our window looking out at all the robins which landed here in Fort Pierce, Florida, this morning. They are on their way North and there are thousands of them, We threw out bread crumbs but they are very particular on their food, they want seeds so the blackbirds ate all the crumbs. This is a wonderful sight we witness each year, It must he sign of an early Spring so hope it is true, Hope you both are well as we are at present and although the weather here hap been very changeable, we always say Well we don't have to shovel it." When you have severely cold weather up in Canada, we have it cooler here, usually in the low 60 degrees instead of the lovely 80 degrees. The Bayfield people down here in Florida are all well and enjoying themselves, Sincerely, Esther and Lloyd Makins," The robins fly north, leisurely, usually arriving in Canada about three weeks after being at Fort Pierce, Florida. Perhaps this year their built-in wireless system will have warned them to stay longer where the picking is good, or it may be they will have arrived already. We've had flocks,of Red Polls feeding on the seeds of the syringe shrubs. Carl moved Lucy's chair so that she could see them outside' the sun room window. As many as three would be on small twigs, cracking open the seed pods and feasting on the seeds while several were down on the snow gleaning the fallen seeds. There must have been two dozen in the flock. And last week as he came from Clinton a flock of little birds flew off the road up into trees near the Golf Course. No sparrow ever feeds on the road in this mechanical age, so Carl thinks they were Red Polls. Their favorite food is white birch seeds and it was into some of these they flew. In fact Carl has been so taken with these friendly little birds that he built a new feeder to hang in a tall syringe — while Fluffy the cat helped him at the work bench. He bought some fine bird seed and put it in the new feeder. The Red Polls have consistently ignored it but two pair of cardinals sat in the new feeder most of the first day while the chickadees flew in and out. One day in the big feeder Carl saw a colorful sight eight evening Grosbeaks and old man Cardinal in the midst, apparently enjoying his cousins' visit. This small flock has been around the village most of the winter but had not visited "The Hut" before. There are signs of Spring! "Mr." brought the first snowdrop of the season in to Lucy on February 23. It was blooming up against the wall on the south side. And on Sunday and Monday of last week the crows began announcing Spring. There have been crows around Goderich Township and Bayfield River Valley all winter. About a month ago Mr. and Mrs. Jim Hutchings were driving up the Bayfield Line and a tall dead tree on what used to be known as the Canada Company lot running back to the river, was just lined with crows, but they weren't talking about Spring that day. Harry Baker wonders where all the owls have gone. This year there is no eouild of a screech owl around Mrs. J. E. Howard's property, nor the big brown owl in the swamp. Neither has Lucy heard any. Mrs. Hutchings says she has seen them but haslet heard them. Could it be that the crows have driven them to other localities? gi The 4eyonesoften referro4;ts wileyeo,ottelepieet.,Le' pews are, sworn en4riiipe ef :owls. Lucy, pelt a;steffed owleepe rn echerry tree, Once at her !fernier house on Main'Street. It 'Was pleist effective in keeping away:the robins, blackbirds and cedar wax wings (she wishes she could purchase one for similar use at "The Hut"). But the stuffed owl which was only loaned to her had to be rescued as all the crows came up from the river valley at daybreak and were marshalling their forces on the lilac hedges for the attack when Mrs. Woods frightened them off by clapping two pieces of board together. The crows' military tactics and regimentation are perfect. Last week in the near-zero weather, Mrs. Oddleifson went down to Mrs. J. H. Cobb's cottage to leave food for a half-grown kitten — a stray and evidently her hearing is not good. She found a brown creeper lying on the snow, apparently dead, near the spot and felt badly that the kitten had killed it. When she picked it up, it fluttered, so she rolled it up in her scarf. And when she was about to get down to put the food where dogs could not reach it, she was afraid of hurting the little bird, so put it in a garbage tin. When she lifted the lid, it flew out and away. It had been almost frozen and the warmth of her body had revived it. But it must be difficult for the Brown Creeper finding insects in this weather. On March 2 in the vicinity of "The Hut," a cardinal was heard, whistling his mating call for the first time this year — a sure sign that spring is nearly here. OM OF KNOX H(4-R$ GENERAL InETING The general meeting of the United Church Women Of Knox iJnited Church was held last Wednesday evening in the Sunday School room of the church with Unit in charge.
