(Lucy Z?. WoodsJ October 19, 1967 What has happened to all the gay colours of the maple trees this* year? Those usually turning a golden hue are looking bright, but somehow, where one expects to find a brilliant red, the leaves look email with brown edges, Ope day last week, Lucy, Carl and Erma rambled down to Grand Bend and while there were, some shades in the foliage which would delight an artist’s eye, Lucy missed the deep crim son of the oak" trees which she ha® seen on former"occasions at Thanksgiving, Could it be that the oak® will yet acquire their brilliance or is there something in the season or atmos phere - such as fall out from nuclear explosions ip China affecting them this year? They went eight miles down the high-’ way to the bridges oyer the Apsable, hoping, in vain, to see more colour. Two years ago on the Thanksgiving weekend, a hupdred r person® must have come to photograph a maple tree across the road from ”The Hut”. Last year it was not so beautiful and this year, the leaves are small. Some have turned scarlet but with • most of the tree shedding withered brown leaves in the wet, windy weather, it is not attractive. And where have all the birds gone, Friends who have an antipathy towards the feline order have been blaming Sandi the cat for the' absence of birds in Lucy’s garden. She missed them when she came home but now guests are missing them, too, “Mr.” said that he sighted a sparrow hawk flying over head one day, and that'could be the reason we have no birds. This time other years, flocks would come down here to rest and feed en route south. “Mr.” has ,seen a few white crowned sparrows and an odd junco, Mrs, Bell sighted a flock of birds of sturdy build like a gros beak passing over but she couldn’t identify them. The thought has just struck Lucy - could it be the absence of the big pussy willow tree in the garden? There are plenty of other trees in the vicinity but tor some reason the birds liked that big spreading tree. As Lucy writes, a pair of black-capped (chickadees came to the suet feeder. Since the middle of August, the only visitor has been the Downie Woodpecker with his critchety little greeting. And he absolutely ignored Sandi the cat stretched out near the pole. It was visa versa, for Sandi just lay in the sun and looked at the bird. This time other years, the chickadees and jays would have cleaned up on the seedling sunflowers scattered about the place, but so far the heads are still intact. One, beside the garbage tin, grew to a height of eight feet and smiled down at those going to and from the back door. We have been told that there is a flock of young jays in the growth on the hillside opposite us. Perhaps they don’t know enough to come after the sunflower seeds. Later on, they will probably be raiding the big feeding station. It isn’t likely that Sandi the cat is responsible for keeping the jays away as he was away for over a week. He gave Carl * such an affectionate greeting when he came home and there was a joyous re-union! But he went off again for another couple of days — where and why, nobody knows! He is up to his old games of racing ahead, up the arch, and reaching down to catch Carl as he passes underneath. It could be that the hunting has been poor for Sandi, but on the other hand, Lucy has seen a big orange coloured cat chasing him a couple of times. A lady from Niagara Falls told Lucy that there were no birds in their garden this year. Mrs. J. E. Howard says that she has seen very few at her place where shrubbery and tree growth is luxuriant. On the other hand at “Camborne House”, Canon F.H. Pauli reports numerous birds to attract bird giving weekend. Mayhap the birds restaurants en route are not spelling death to our feathered friends. A young gull, apparently unable to fly, came down on the road late in August. ' It was rescued by Douglas Willock and he put it in a box. Very light in weight, the young bird died a few hours later. “Mr.” has a theory that the cold wet spring, may have been re sponsible for poor hatches. But where, Lucy wonders, have the adult birds-gone which were about the garden early in July? Apparently at cherry time, they were here by the thousand and these included species he had never seen before, Carl re ported to Lucy. Watching the birds was usually a form of entertainment at “The Hut” and the birds very often staged a good show for guests. But when Mr, and Mrs. Gordon Livermore, London, and Mrs. McCartney, Clinton, called, not a bird was in sight. Gordon and Carl went to Baird’s school together. They hadn’t seen each other for fifty year §and for Lucy, too, it was a pleasure to meet scyne of her readers.
