Our neighbours are for the birds
One thing about living in Ontario is
the wonderful number of song birds
we have. It's true l often wish they
could put off shrilling their Anvil
Chorus at 4:02 every morning so that
we must close. the window tight if
we're to get on with our sleep. Still,
i wouldn't want to do without the love-
ly calls of the cardinals and orioles,
the cheery chirrups of the robins, the
wild cry of the killdeers, and the
glorious songs of the thrushes. mix-
ed in with many others 1 can't
distinguish.
We're not professional bird wat-
chers (although we do keep a bird
book and spy glasses on the kitchen
table) but we do enjoy having them
for neighbours. We even like those
tyrannical bluejays who flash into the
tree in the front yard to stamp their
feet impatiently while screeching at
everything that passes by.
We were delighted when that same
tree held a rare, pink breasted
bluebird, one day, and it never ceases
to thrill us when the indigo buntings
fly in with the hundreds of golden fin-
ches that descend on our area every
year.

by. Her beautiful blue eggs hatched
into four ugly, starving babies which
grew, at an alarming rate, into four,
fluffy, cute fledglings, crowding the
small nest until they pushed each
other out.
Coral Bells, growing along the
south side of the house, always attract
many ruby throated humming birds.
They build their wee nests in the Rus-
sian Olive tree, nearby, and dive so
close to my ears when I'm out
weeding that I usually beat a retreat.
A few evenings ago, when I was
hosing the garden, one of these
beautiful miniatures flew into the
spray to commence what looked like

Surely he must have taken me for the
rain goddess as he genuflected and-

wings beating. Then, he landed on the
