II • • 1 Rambiing witn' Lucy
LUCY R, WOODS
Over the weekend of May 9-10, Lucy watched a pair of house
wrens at the box opposite her bedroom window.
Mr. Wren first appeared at the box on April 29 arid looked it over
but he wasn't saying anything. It might and might not suit Jenny
when she came about four days later. Apparently she decided that
the house was suitable and so they took up their abode.
Mr. Wren would sit on the roof and trill his happiness and pride
to the world. Then he'd pop into the house and come out in a hurry
chased, by Jenny Who was bent on taking him down a peg or two. It
was her house! Wasn't she laying the eggs? And if he even made
towards the entrance she chased him.
The only time he became masterful was when that pair of young
house sparrows attempted to gain entrance, Mr. Wren became so
enraged that his wings quivered ready for the fight. They were two
to one but they wisely made off before they felt his sharp little
beak,
The bees and humming birds were buSy pollenizing Bell's cherry
tree just over the fence.
Mrs. Chas, Bell reports that the barn swallows came back to her
verandah on April 30. She heard them chattering over a stone which
prevented them building in their usual spot up over the verandah
post.
She was sweeping at the time so went out with the broom to
knock the stone down. They must have felt they were not wanted
and didn't return after flying off at sight of her.
There seem to be a number of robins building in the garden at
"The Hut". Carl saw a brown thrasher in the hedge, It usually builds
back there somewhere but we missed its turkey-like gobble last year.
And on Bell's lawn Lucy observed a purple grackle strutting around
looking for beetles—all ready to announce to his kin when the
cherries ripen.
This dry spring has been hard on the birds. Carl was amused after
he had filled up some holes in the lawn with fresh earth to see a
robin sitting by each patch looking longingly for a worm to appear.
Although there seem to be so few birds at "The Hut" this year
compared to past years, Mrs. F. H. Paull and Miss Carrie Dixon went
birding on May 7 and 8 and saw the following in and near Bayfield:
yellow warbler, chipping sparrow, wren, least flycatcher, myrtle
warbler, Nashville warbler, red-breasted nuthatch, ruby crowned
kinglet, meadowlark, cardinal, red winged blackbird, common tern,
herring gull, ring billed gull, mourning dove, song sparrow, field
sparrow, white crowned sparrow, downy woodpecker, hairy
woodpecker, olive backed thrush, oriole, phoebe pee-wee, catbird,
brown thresher, flicker, cowbird, killdeer, purple grackles, robins
and crows-34 species in all.
The late spring and then the sudden burst of hot, dry weather has
been hard on all the spring flowering bulbs. Last year Lucy had
various daffodils in bloom for over four weeks. Also the hyacinths
lasted well. This year they were all dead within ten days,
Someone asked Lucy; "Did you ever see a year before when the
crocuses, hyacinths, daffodils, tulips and forsythia were all in bloom
at the same time?" if the dry weather continues it augurs ill for any
quantity of bloten next spring, It was the long cool damp period of
curing last year which accounts for the gorgeous display this year
plus, of course, care and fertilizer.
