While a crow'a vocabulary irf1 limited
to "cawR" and a few gutteral croaks, he
rtan by modulating his voice, and by a
diifting of accent, say anything, he
A'ishes to. A sentinel crow can bal^nrtr
himself on the swaying ?>p
Mid by, different inflections given ms
"caws,." impart a world of infortna
wion to the flock pulling up corn in a
nearby field. IIo can tosk out a lazy,
' contented k-ind of a "caw_" and not a
crow raises its head, for.lt knows that
everything Ik lovely and there is noth
ing to worry .about.
Hut a single "caw" spoken with a
'crk, meanu "Be careful, and ready to
fly." A sharp chopped off "caw" sends
every bird high in the air and clangihg
away to the safety of the pines.
If the watcher on the tree-top rat
tled off a regufar fuslidac of "Oa-Ca
Oa-Ca-Ca-Oa's," each crow, would look
out for number one, ?nd after rising to
a height that would put them above a
possible gun shot, scatter and beat their
retreat in ^jfferent directions; all the
while repeating the same warning cry
for the benefit of others. If a lone crow
in the course of his foraging through
the woods- should happen to glimpse th#
dusky red of a fox blinking through the
bushes, he throws out his wireless call
iir ,%he shape of another "Caw" with an
other inflection, And all crows in hear
ing, know exactly what it means, and
come flocking to the fun, and that fox
wHl see no peace until he takes refuge
in Ms den. S.
The other small dwellers of the woods
liean* and heed the warning, knowing that
when the crows arc making so much
fuss, while moving from place to' place,
that wmie enemy is abroad and that it
is 'best to keep well hidden and as quiet
as possible.
80 without meaning to do so, the crows
do a kindness to the birds and smaller
inimals by giving warning that Brer Fox
it> not at home, where he should be.
Th.it blue-coated fraud, the jay, ha3 a
peculiar. low-Throated "C-r-r-r-r !" that
he ~1nvn:*lably Titters when he sees some
thing that he does n*>t quite understand,
that silences and sends to cover the
smaller birds around. They know the
blue-jay is a great liar, but .they can
generally depend on him when he gives
this danger signal. lie may he mistaken,
of course, but then it is well to be on
the safe side, ,<0 witnout questioning his
motives or veracity when they hear the
warning they promptly stop, even if it
is in the midst of a song, and make their
arrangements to leave at a moment.'i
notice. ? C. A. David in Greenville News.
