| 1>AMK NATURE'S MINSTRBL8
The Wayn of Our Feathered Cr*a?
turea are Moat Interesting.
What with its 113,000 curb trees,
spacious lawns and natural parks, the ]
nation's capital affords unusual op- ]
portunities for studying the wonders (
of nature, both animate and inani- f
tnnte. Especially is Washington a ]
mecca for birds. But of all lopal
specie.a, Mr. Hobin Redbreast is still {
the ?hief source of wonderment and
admiration. Particularly during thoj
hatching season. For then Mrs. Rob-i
in Redbreast aits on the nest and,
no matter what the economic situa- '
tion is for humans, her husband is
kept busy feeding two mout'hs. Always
industrious, at this time he is j
doing doulble duty. From the first
streak of dawn until after darkness
has. set in he is hopping about seek- 1
iug the worms that, as far as we have 1
observed, constitute the family's only
dipt
Whether robins have their own
"rackets" and are strict about protecting
"territories," we don't know,
but one particular little fellow we
have observed confines his daily
search to, say, a radius of two blocks
from his altitudinous bungalow. And
how he goes for worms! His legs
work quicker than a flash in darting
here and there about the yard, his
feathery body stopping suddenly
while the alert head turns sideways
tp contemplate a j*rospective morsel.
Though many people believe a robin
actually "listens" for worms moving
close to the ground's surface it is our
impression that his sight is so keen
tlfut he actually s<?ps them. Support
for this is found ifi the fact that a
robin must cock his head to one side
to obtain the keenest eye focus.
Mr.'Robin is well aware how rain
helps out his eternal search. He is
quick'to take advantage of a shower
and the particular bird using our lawn j
! as a hunting ground deliberately fol-;
}o\vs in the wake of the water from
our hose and seems to find the pick-;
ings unusually good. Water, if you
do not already know, brings worms]
scurrying-from the soil. A too heavy1
downpour will actually "drown them'
out." That is why you see so many'
lifeless wrigglers on the sidewalks,
etc., after an unusually heavy rain.
They are actually' drowned.
The quail for partridge, if you are
not too particular!) is another bird
well worth observing. His domestic
life does not seem to be as happy as
that of the robin. His wjfe is exceed- j
ingly jealous and makes him hang,
about the home a? much as possible, j
That is why her whistle of inquiry it
constantly being repeated from the
nest, followed by his obedient answet
with the "Mob White" that gives him
his popular name. The quail is a
flirtatious old bird and sometimes
breaks family ties. If he is nttractod
by a new love, or meets with tragedy,
the wife on the nest is eo*A made'
sware of it by his non-respouse and
has to leave her eggs to shift about
for herself. This is generally disastrous
to the prospective offspring.
The little sparrow is always an inciting
study. This was the English
bird brought tp America in 1850 to
combat caterpillars. To* 15 shiploads J
tho present horde owes its being.'
Many people think the sparrow a nuliance.
Mut ltv> is ..interesting. He is
the most peaceful of all birds-?-excopt
when affairs of tho heart are con-j
corned. Yet two sparrows rarely duel
alone. The aid of Relatives is generally
invoked. There is much twittering
and pecking but littlo damage results.
At other times the sparrow a good
"pal." If he finds a bit of bread or
other choice morsel he may take just
a wee bit before flying off to notify
his "gang" what he has found. So
they all return to share it.
Also, the sparrow seems to work
quite in harmony with his big cousin,
the starling. Though the former is
generally respectful while the larger
bird pecks away at food, the two get
along quite sociably. As in the case
of the sparrow, the starling was introduced
in this country for a particular
purpose but has become quite
a pest?to some. In Washington these
birds are driving office building
owners (and some auto owners, tool'
to a point of distraction. Improvised
flags, firemen's hose, poison and even
fumes are not able to drive them
away. One of tho oddest downtown
sights is at riight when these starlings
have taken, their roost on the copings
of buildings. Packed as tightly as
sardines, they extend in unbroken
lines for the length of several buildings.
And they don't case whether it
is government property or not. Tho
Fox theatre, for example, has an indented
section over its entrance way
and the feathered flock seem to fight
for the privilege of taking positions
of vantage on the decorative work
here to watch humans gfting in and
out of the theatre. Or, perhaps, it
is because the myriad of decorative
lights provide them with a welcome
warmth not extended them by the
general public.
The spring rendezvous of great
numft>ersvof ducks on \the Potomac
between the capital and Mt. Vernon
invariably interests the visitor who,
despite tho closed season, longs for a
gun. But we are more interested in
the iiight formation of this table delicacy.
It is very apparent, that aviation
has profited from their deportment
in the air. Military air flights
are quite "ducky," to say the least; V ||
and study of the construction of Ufa
fowl's wing helped to make possible
man's duplication of the feats of fea?
tbered flyers.
Time and time again we have observed
wiltl ducks and geese flying In
formation, with their scouts and outer
guards flung out in approved fash*
ion. The single bird that leads the
flight is always a source of wonderment.
Because he "breaks" tho air
for the rest of the birds, he must be
a strong fellow. Nuturnlly he tirea
more quickly than tho others but such
{is the- precise arrangement of the
flight that other selected birds re- ' ? ,i>
I placo him at regular intervals. How '
the ducks arrange to have a substitute
move up to take tho placo of a
retiring leader is almost as wonderful
as tho mystery of how a bird epecies,
though scattered over a wide locality,
know tho exact day and precis?
hour gp which to start their joint
migrations either north or south at
the case may be.?The Pathfinder.
