~ IN fssftntine Hard CRY
A good story about q bird or nny
other animal IL doubIy interesting
II tle reader can be sure that II Is
not only true substantially, but has
not been dressed out by the writer's
imagination. Such n story is the fol
lowing, told by Mr.. William Brew.
ster, one Of the best known OF
American ornithologists. He was
spending Some weeks AT the little
village Of s. Mary's on the coast Of
Georgia Mocking birds were abiin
dant and being protected by every
one were half domesticated, build
ing their nests In the sbrubbery that
surrounded the houses and hopping
about like robins upon the grass
plots and graveled walks. An orange
tree in front of the window was ap
propriated by a particularly fine
singer.
His repertory included the notes
Of nearly all the birds In tho sur
rounding region, besides many Of
the characteristic village sounds, and
most of the limitations were simply
perfect. Moreover, he was continu.
ally adding to his accomplishments.
An instance Of this occurred one
afternoon when several of us were
sitting on the verandas
A greater yellow legs IA well
known game bird of the snipe and
sandpiper family passing over the
town was attracted by my answer
ing whistle and circled several times
above the house reiterating his mel
low call.
The mocking bird up to this time
had been singing almost uninterrupt
edly, but at the sound of these
strange notes he relapsed into silence
and retreated into the thickest foil
age Of his favorite tree. Then we
heard him trying them in an under
tone.
The first note came pretty readily,
but the falling infection of the sue
ceeding three troubled him. When
ever ventured to prompt, he would
listen attentively, and at the next at
tempt show an evident improve
ment.
Finally he abandoned the task, as
we thought. In despair, and at sunset
that evening, for the first and only
time during my stay, his voice was
missing in the general chorus. But
at daylight the next morning the
garden rang with perfect imitation
of the yellow legs whistle. He had
mastered it during the night, and
ever afterward it was his favorite
part.
The discomforture of the rival
males in the neighborhood was as
amusing as it was unmistakable.
Each in turn tried the new song, but
not one succeeded.
