mourning dove and a white egg from
which the little bird had not yet picked
its way. This nest was close to the
stalks of some close growing bushes
and would never have been discovered
if the old mother bird had not gotten
up and flown away in terrible fright
when the nest seeker was four or FIVE
feet away.
With the instinct of most of the
ground-building kind, the old bird
went off with an apparently broken
wing. and did her best to decoy danger
away from her helpless little ones.
It is wonder how these little doves
escape the prowling cats which hunt
in the meadows and woods all about,
but so far they have done finely, and
on Saturday last the elder of the two
was already able to use his wings in
a fight of three or four feet.
Out in an old telephone pole which
stands at the corner of two country
roads is a regular birds fat building.
About Is feet up from the ground, just
high enough up to be the despair of
small boys. is a small hole leading
down to a circular chamber. Here a
blue bird family has its home. Five
feet higher up is another and larger
hole. This is the front door to the
residence of red-headed woodpecker.
At present the young woodpeckers
are just getting ready to try their
wings, and at almost any time one c1
the youngsters may be seen looking
out of the hole at what must seem a
strange world. Still higher up. in the
third story of the fat building, is an.
other opening evidently made by a
flicker, who changed his mind and lef,
before he completed his work. There
is likely to be an English sparrow's
nest in that cavity before the summer
| is over, for the "avian rats" are going
out into the country for the summer
in great numbers and bid fair soon ts

to be crying, but when she lifted her

composure. "He tried SO hard to re-

TROUBLES OF BIRD
! 4 HOUSEKEEPING q

IF THE average small boy knew
what hard time birds have to rear
their families under the best condi-
tions he would hesitate to disturb
their nests, even IL there was no law
to threaten him with punishment If
he does SO.
There was patient pair of robins,
for instance, who built their first nest
more than six weeks ago in a low ap-
pie tree in the orchard. Presently
there we're two blue eggs in the nest.
Then came the first catastrophe. Next
morning the nest was empty. On the
ground under the tree lay one of the
eggs with two holes picked in its shell.
The other was entirely missing. That
was the work of big, sneaking blue
jay, II one may judge by the fact that
the same afternoon the robins were
seen chasing a scolding jay about the
orchard, and that the picture of the
jay has long been in the birds rogue
gallery.
Immediately after the destruction
of their eggs the robins set about
building a second nest on another
limb of the same tree. They got SO
far as to have three blue eggs in this
prospective cradle when red squirrel
came down. one afternoon from the
oaks adjoining the orchard and made
A robins egg omelet of what he found
| there.
| Then a third nest was built. and on
that the old mother bird has now been
sitting for two weeks. Perhaps she
will succeed this time in rearing an in
;eresting family, but there is an old
white cat with three kittens under the
hay NOW stairs, who spends hours
standing motionless. all but the tip OF
her tail, in the tall orchard grass, and
who thinks that a dinner of young
robins would do her own children
much good.
There is a little yellow warbler who
built down in the pasture wood lot
and who had equally hard luck in diff.
ferent and really peculiar way.
The yellow warbler's nest was in
itself an exquisite thing. 1t was built
near the top of some thick bushes
about five feet from the ground. II
was lined with soft, silky gray moses

like the inside of spun silver cup. II
was built so artfully that leaves and
branches hid it on all sides. and it took
hard work and good luck to find it
even after one knew it was there. 1t
was found the day it had been COM
plet when the mother bird was
just ready to begin laying her eggs.
But there was another bird out that
day, sneaking through the bushes like
a pickpocket. looking for a chance to
leave one of its eggs in a newly-built
nest. The sneak was "a coward. which
never builds nest of its own, and dis
misses the whole subject of maternal
responsibility from its mind when it
has left an egg in some other birds
nest. One Of these big brown and
black cowbirds found the yellow warb-
ler's dainty little nest. and laid one of
its big spotted eggs there. Then it
flew back to the pasture again. and
got down on the ground among the
cattle. with others of its sneaking
kind.
Sometimes when yellow warbler
finds a cowbird's egg in its nest it will
build false bottom over the egg and
proceed to make its nest above 1t on
the second floor. But this poor warb-
Ter got no such opportunity. This has
been cold, late spring, and the war
blers and other similar birds have
been slow in building. Also there were
many cowbirds about looking for a
chance to saddle off the Matching and
rearing of their young on their bet
ters, and before the yellow warbler
mother could get chance to lay one
of her own eggs in the nest she had
built it was actually filed almost tt
overflowing with four big cowbird
eggs. This is believed to be the rec
ord in the way of cowbird greediness
Often two cowbird eggs are found in
the same nest, but rarely II ever be-
fore have four been found.
The greed of the cowbird in thu.
completely occupying the warbler's
nest brought its own punishment with
It. The warbler, disgusted, aban
doned the nest completely. A day ol
two later something-boy or beast
had discovered the deserted nest ani
| stolen all four of the eggs.
