# The Condor/Volume 1/Number 2/Fall Notes from Haywards, Cal.

Echoes from the Field.
Fall Notes from Haywards, Cal. On October 30, 1898 I noticed for the first time in this locality the Western Nighthawk (C. virginianus henryi.) It was flying southward high in air just after sun-down in long zigzag sweeping circles, no doubt feeding as it flew to a more inviting winter home. In nineteen years' observation at Haywards this is my first record of the Nighthawk. I am told they are common on the east side of the range in the San Joaquin valley. At Poway, San Diego Co., they occur commonly as spring migrants.
Red Breasted Nuthatch. (Sitta canadensis.) These Nuthatches made their appearance in scattering pairs among the blue gum trees, live oaks and almond trees. In the latter they seemed to find abundant food as I noted them busy picking into the nuts on September 3, 1898. They were common in the gum trees about the Oakland hills and in Marin Co., where I am told they were seen in large bands. This is their first appearance at Haywards since October 24, 1882.
Western Golden-crowned Kinglet. (Regulus satrapa olivaceus.) Observed feeding among the willows back of Oakland on October 22, 1898. Have not been noticed about Haywards since October 16, 1884.
Townsend's Sparrow. (P. iliaca unalaschcensis.) Have been unusually common this fall, coming into the gardens about the house and hedges but generally shy and keeping to the thick brush of the creek banks and canon sides. The earliest arrival in ten years' observations is for this season, September 25, 1898.
Red-breasted Sapsucker. (Sphyrapicus ruber.) Have seen an unusual number of this alpine species, a number having taken a fancy to a big blue gum (eucalyptus) tree in the yard, where, on warm sunny days, they would go to peck holes and suck the rich sap that flows freely in the cold fall months. One I found in a willow tree trying to get the best of a yellow jacket's nest, dodging back and forth either to get a mouthful of their stored sweets or the jackets themselves. Most of the fall birds have a darker colored breast than the spring plumaged birds which are bright scarlet. They arrive at Haywards in October and November and again in March on their way to the high Sierras.
Mountain Song Sparrow. (Melospiza fasciata montana.) A pair of these Sparrows I took on December 16, 1897 among the dead bull rushes on the edge of a salt marsh below Haywards, forming a new county record. They are a form of Melospiza easily overlooked by most collectors, as also is M. fasciata guttata. The latter have been seen several times this winter. My records for Haywards have been March 10, 1880, November 23, 1885, October 28, 1883, January 18, 1888 and October 13, 1898. W. Otto Emerson, Haywards, Cal. Dec. 9, 1898.
# The Condor/Volume 1/Number 2/Notes on Audubon's Warbler and the Individuality of Eggs

​Notes on Audubon's Warbler and the Individuality of Eggs. In order to satisfy my curiosity, I shot a male Audubon's Warbler on Jan. 17 and placed the contents of its stomach under a microscope. I found that it contained, with the exception of a small black beetle, and a worm about one-half inch long, nothing but bits of grass. These warblers are abundant every year during the winter in this locality. They spend most of their time on the ground, feeding on grass in the orchards.
In further proof of the individuality of eggs, I have sets of eggs in my collection from two pairs of California Shrikes. Both pair nest within one-half mile of my home and I have taken eggs from each for the past five years. The eggs of pair No. 1 are smaller and rounder than the average specimens, and are very lightly marked. I have two sets in my collection from this bird. In No. 2 the eggs are all heavily marked. I have four sets of eggs from this bird and were it not for the set mark, an egg taken from one set and placed with the other sets from the same bird could not be distinguished. Wm. L. Atkinson, Santa Clara, Cal.
# The Condor/Volume 1/Number 2/Expedition off for the Tropics

Expedition off for the Tropics.
On February 25 there sailed from San Francisco in the schooner Stella Erland as extensive an expedition as has recently visited tropical waters. The expedition has ornithology chiefly in view and is under the command of Mr. A. W. Anthony, the well known worker of California. Those accompanying him are H. B. Kaeding, Chase Littlejohn and R. H. Beck, ornithologists; R. C. McGregor, icthyologist; J. M. Gaylord, botanist; Geo. Spencer and Chas. Jones, assistants and Arthur Whirlock, steward. The expedition sails direct for Amapala, Honduras, C. A. where the Gulf of Fonseca will be carefully examined for specimens. Thence to Cocos Island and the Galapagos group. If time permits the party will then probably go west to Christmas, Fanning and Palmyra, returning home by way of the Sandwich Islands. Attention will be given chiefly to birds, fishes and plants, but marine invertebrates and mammals will also be collected. The expedition will be absent about eight months and with such an array of scientists we may expect some valuable work to be accomplished.
Mr. Wallace Homer, a member of the Maine Ornithological Society, paid the editor a pleasant call on Feb. 27 while en route to his home in Maine, after a pleasant visit through California.
Mr. O. W. Howard of Los Angeles is on his way to the Huachuca Mts. in Arizona, where he will put in the season collecting. He is travelling by wagon and has a good opportunity to thoroughly examine the country. He reports a set of Le Conte's Thrasher taken Jan. 3 at Indio, Cal; also a single Western Horned Owl's egg taken near Phoenix, Ariz. a short time since.
Mr. F. S. Daggett of Pasadena, who has been suffering from a severe attack of "grip" has entirely recovered.
# The Condor/Volume 1/Number 2/House Finches Again

House Finches Again.
Experience has taught me that House Finches may nest anywhere. I have found them occupying nests of orioles, towhees, grosbeaks, cliff swallows, blackbirds and portions of hawks' abodes; besides tin cans, old hats and stove pipes and now I shall add hollow limbs. One bird entering the opening of a small cavity actually squeezed her way back for two and a half feet to sit on her eggs in total darkness. Another reared her brood in the deep cavity of a Californian Woodpecker in an oak while a third selected a similar hole in a telegraph pole. The latter contained six eggs.Ernest Adams, San Jose, Cal.
# The Condor/Volume 1/Number 2/Hylocichla Ustulata Oedica in the Sierra Nevadas

​Hylocichla Ustulata Oedica in the Sierra Nevadas. Mr. Oberholser in the Auk Jan. 1899 mentions Marysville as one of the breeding localities of his new subspecies,—oedica. I am certain the Marysville ustulata is a much better singer than that of Santa Cruz and other coast localities where I have heard it, or in any of the many localities in the Sierra Nevadas. By the way, it is rarely found above 4,500 ft. altitude on the west slope, but like several species it ranges up to nearly 7,000 ft. on the east slope. Some of these, as I remember them, are the House Finch and Bullock's Oriole. Our Yellow-billed Magpie seldom gets up to 2,000 ft. although the Black-billed Magpie gets up to at least 7,000 ft. I see one or more nearly every year at the summit of the C. P. R. R. At Truckee, Cal. and vicinity it is very common. Lyman Belding, Stockton, Cal.
# The Condor/Volume 1/Number 2/Nesting of the Wilson's Snipe in Utah

Nesting of the Wilson's Snipe in Utah
ACCORDING to most, if not all the authorities, this species nests in the north, but I have found them breeding in this locality in abundance and have taken their eggs for several years. They arrive early in April, as soon as the snow is off the shallow ponds and low lands, and their whistle becomes a familiar sound both during the day and in the evening. Nest building commences soon after they arrive and nests have been found from April 29 to as late as July 11.
The nests are invariably placed within a few inches of the water, either stagnant, or by the side of irrigating ditches or waste streams. The nest is composed of dry wire grass loosely laid into a shallow platform, though occasionally raised two or three inches above the surface of the ground. Occasionally they select for a site the top of a hummock, but usually the nest is flat on the ground and extremely difficult to find as the eggs and nest have the general appearance of the surrounding dead grass and rushes.
The eggs exhibit the greatest possible variation in markings and colors, a well selected series showing about the handsomest variation of any I have seen, unless it be those of the Sharp-shinned Hawk. Typical specimens are of a dull yellow background, shaded and overlaid with bold heavy blackish and brown markings. These markings are usually long in proportion to their width and form a "corkscrew" appearance on the shell, extending from the pointed end of the egg in an oblique right direction, and seldom straight toward the larger end. In some specimens the ground color is a bright yellowish shade in which case the markings are usually very bold and distinct; in others the markings are highly colored running through all the shades from rich sienna to deep brown and blackish. The bird is never shot here for game and breeds without molestation.H. C. Johnson, American Fork, Utah, Jan. 27, '99.

# The Bromsgrovian/Volume 2/Number 5/Correspondence

N.B.—The Editor declines to hold himself responsible for the opinions of his Correspondents.
To the Editor of the Bromsgrovian.
Dear Sir,
As hardly a day has passed this term on which I have not been present either at the games or the practice in the cricket field, I think I may claim to be heard when I venture a suggestion. Now it is only too painfully clear that whatever may be our shortcomings in batting and bowling, they are as nothing compared to the exhibition which we invariably make of ourselves in the field, and this certainly springs from one cause, and one only—a lack of real wish to improve, and consequent slackness of effort. It was the same story at Eton in years past. No one ever saw an Eton and Winchester match without remarking on the "dark blues'" superiority here even when they were beaten hollow at all other points. And the reason was that they tried and we did not. Unless the playground is occupied at every spare moment of the day by boys throwing catches to each other and "feeling the ball" till they are practically sure of holding anything which they can reach, we shall see bad fielding, catches dropped all round in games and matches, for as everyone knows a catch is never certain while there is nervousness, and nothing except familiarity will breed contempt for sharp chances and smarting fingers. Besides, as every cricketer knows, it is not a catch that stings, it is the ball that just nips the tip of the fingers or pounds the ball of the thumb to a jelly in revenge for being dropped. Be it well understood I do not call for any regulations on the subject. We have quite enough of them already, and nothing would be so fatal to cricket as the danger of its degenerating into a sort of school instead of the best of games. Let there only be cricket balls provided for volunteers, old and young, yea, even to the lowest depths of the first form, and every encouragement given to this department by those in authority, and I firmly believe boys will find, as all old Wyhehamists say they did, that batting and bowling are not the only interesting parts of the game, and then perhaps also there will be a public opinion in the school that missing a catch or letting a ball slip through a pair of greased fingers and legs is a disgrace, and the mark of a duffer. We have our punt about in the winter at all odd moments, so there can be nothing unreasonable in wishing that every time we come into the playground on summer evenings we could see the centre of attraction—a good half-dozen of cricket balls flying to all parts of the heaven, and———not on the ground.
Yours truly, C. F. Crowder.
# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 1/From far-off Russia

FROM FAR-OFF RUSSIA
During the retreat of the Russian army from the Carpathians in the spring of 1915 Lieutenant-General Kornilov, commanding the rear guard, was captured and interned in Bohemia. In the summer of 1916 he managed to escape with the help of a Bohemian soldider, Frank Mrnak. For several weeks the two fugitives were making their way stealthily toward the Roumanian frontier, hiding by day and traveling at night. But one day in August they were surprised by gendarmes; the general got away and finally reached Russia, where he now commands an army corps. Mrnak was hit and captured, and later sentenced by the court martial in Pressburg to be shot.
It had been the Bohemian soldiers’s intention to enter as a volunteer into the ranks of the Czecho-Slovak brigade which has by this time grown into two divisions. That his name and his heroic deed should not be forgotten, the commander of the brigade issued an order to have Mrnak’s name inscribed first on the roll of Company A of the first regiment of the Czecho-Slovak brigade of sharp shooters. At every roll-call, when Mrnak’s name is called, the sergeant of the first squad shall answer: “Shot by Hungarian court martial in Pressburg for saving General Kornilov.”
# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 1/First Czech soldiers from US in Europe

FIRST CZECH SOLDIERS FROM U. S. IN EUROPE
In, the May issue of the Bohemian Review a picture was shown of Bohemian volunteers in the Canadian army; majority of them were from the United States. They landed in England in the latter part of May and took part in an enormous manifestation in honor of the United States held at the Hyde Park in London, May 27. Our boys carried a sign inscribed “Czech Colunteers from U. S. A.” and received a boisterous welcome. When the procession passed the French Embassy, in front of which were grouped ministers of the Allied Powers, the Bohemian soldiers were ordered to step out of the ranks and two of them were introduced to Ambassador Page, who expressed his pleasure at their arrival in Europe.
# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 1/From the Protestant camp

FROM THE PROTESTANT CAMP
Numerically Protestants are not very strong among the Czech people. But both here and in the old country they have come out strongly in favor of independence, as one might expect from their historical traditions.
In this country the Evangelical Union, an organization consisting of Presbyterian and Reformed churches and ministers using the Bohemian lan​guage, passed the following resolution at its thirteenth annual convention at Saratoga, Iowa, September 11th: “We gladly recognize the sincere efforts of the Bohemian National Alliance for the liberation of our native land and express to the officers of the Alliance our full confidence and appreciation. We call upon our brethren in all the churches to stand faithfully by this movement and give it even larger support than has been done heretofore. Upon general request we establish hereby the Liberty Guard of the American Czecho-Slovak Protestants for the purpose of gaining the sympathies of our American and English brothers in faith for the freedom and independence of the Czechoslovak nation.—Rev. Joseph Břeň, D. D., Rev. Václav Vaněk, D. D., M. Votava.”
From Moravia comes the report that at the pastoral conference of ministers of the Reformed Church, held in Brno in June, the appeal of the Bohemian authors to the deputies urging them to be firm was enthusiastically endorsed. At the same time the desire was expressed for the dissolution of the existing Reformed Church of Austria and the constituting of a national Czechoslovak evangelical church. This movement for church independence is a corollary to the movement for political independence.

# The Czechoslovak Review/Volume 1/Five thousand from one man

FIVE THOUSAND FROM ONE MAN.
That American citizens of Czech descent should contribute generously for the liberation of their kinsmen is a matter of course. When an American of the old colonial stock makes a large donation for the same purpose, it is an event deserving of notice.
The largest individual donation made so far to the cause of Bohemia’s independence was made by a stranger in blood to the Czech race. Mr. J. V. Frothingham of New York gave five thousand dollars to the fund employed by Masaryk and his fellow exiles to bring the claims of Bohemia to the attention of the world. It was not Mr. Frothingham’s first philanthropy. Shortly after the war began, he organized and supported at his expense a Red Cross unit composed of Bohemian and Slovak physicians and nurses for service in Serbia, before that unfortunate country was overwhelmed by Germans and Bulgars. A second expedition he sent out was torpedoed in the Adriatic by an Austrian submarine.
The Bohemian race has few active friends among the big men of America. Poles, Serbians, Armenians, even Albanians, find many sympathizers among generous men and women of this country who feel that they are doing something worth while by extending a helping hand to a weak or oppressed people. But if friends of Bohemians are rare, they are so much more valued by the people which they help. The long list of men from America who made the campaign for Bohemia’s independence victorious will be headed by the Anglo-Saxon name of Frothingham.

# The Declaration Condemning the Attempted Forced Assimilation of Bulgarian Muslims

* information about this edition.
* related portals: Bulgaria.
We, the Deputies of the 41st [Bulgarian] National Assembly
– referring to the highest achievements of European and world thought, [and to] international law in the sphere of human rights and minority rights;
– referring to the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms;
– expressing our deepest regret that since the beginning of the democratic changes, for 20 years, the Bulgarian justice system has failed to punish the perpetrators of the attempted forced assimilation of Bulgarian Muslims, including the so-called “Revival Process”;
– expressing our firm conviction that no statute of limitation can be applied to such crimes,
WE DECLARE THAT:
1. We condemn vociferously the assimilation policy of the [Bulgarian] totalitarian communist regime against the Muslim minority in the Republic of Bulgaria, including the so-called 'Revival Process.'
2. We declare the expulsion of more than 360,000 Bulgarian citizens of Turkish origin [from Bulgaria to Turkey] in 1989 constitutes a form of ethnic cleansing committed by the [Bulgarian] totalitarian regime.
3. We call upon the Bulgarian Justice and the Attorney General of the Republic of Bulgaria that they ensure completion of the case against the perpetrators of the so-called 'Revival Process.' Efforts to terminate this case with the use of the statute of limitations means shifting the blame [for this atrocity] onto the Bulgarian people, away from the actual perpetrators.
This Declaration was adopted by the 41st National Assembly on 11 January 2012 and is stamped with the official seal of the National Assembly.

# The Declaration

'Twas late, and the gay company was gone, And light lay soft on the deserted room From alabaster vases, and a scent Of orange leaves, and sweet verbena came Through the unshutter'd window on the air, And the rich pictures with their dark old tints Hung like a twilight landscape, and all things Seem'd hush'd into a slumber. Isabel, The dark eyed, spiritual Isabel Was leaning on her harp, and I had staid To whisper what I could not when the crowd Hung on her look like worshippers. I knelt, And with the fervor of a lip unused To the cool breath of reason, told my love. There was no answer, and I took the hand That rested on the strange, and pressed a kiss Upon it unforbidden—and again Besought her, that this silent evidence That I was not indifferent to her heart, Might have the seal of one sweet syllable. I kissed the small white fingers as I spoke, And she withdrew them gently, and upraised Her forehead from its resting place, and looked Earnestly on me—She had been asleep!
