OITR YOUNG PEOPLE
onr Winter Birds The Blue Jay.

When autumn has given her last
.,,,obos of beauty to tree and vine
md hush. and old King Winter has
conf his heralds to scatter the with
orod leaves and warn us of his near
onnroach. then it is hat we are rude
u awakened to the fact the birds are
zone, They have slipped away so
gradually, those summer songsters
e mrs that we have failed to take
note of their departure. 1t seems
brt Yesterday that we heard the mel
low votcrv note from the heart of
that maple. or the clear sweet trill
IF the song sparrow from the tip
ron of the hedgerow, or the loud
acbppr ND" of the robin from the
cherry tree. and we did not realize
that these were the good-byes and
farpwclls for the winter. But now
we stare up into the bare branches of
the trees. and sigh, The birds are
gone" But they are not all gone;
there are few staunch fellows that
dare 10 brave the cold and frosts and
storms of our Northern winters, and
like Emerson's Chickadee, take de-
light in showing ok their proves in
the most severe weather.
One of the most interesting of our
winter birds is the common bIuejay
Cyanocitta). This handsome bird
never appears to better advantage
than he does during the winter
months. His blue, bright coat is
never bluer, and his black and cray
cap never worn more jauntily.. He
is full Of life and merriment, and
comes piping his shrill, CHEEKY call
Of "Spree-e! Spree-e!" over the snow,
Ofttimes when the thermometer reg
listers from FIVE to fifteen degrees
below zero.
The jay manifests a much more
social disposition toward mankind in
the winter than at any other season,
perhaps because he feels more de-
pendent upon man for his food-sup-
ply than at other times. Indeed,
now to find enough to satisfy his APP
petite, which is always a keen one.
Is a problem that is very hard for
MN TO solve, especially when the
world Is covered with snow. He is
almost wholly dependent at this pc
''ou OF the year upon vegetable foods,
Principally seeds Of different kinds.
lhere are no eggs to puncture, or
Oaoy birds for him to carry off. At
Such times he does not hesitate to
venture very near to the dwellings
y" man IN search of food. For three
winters now, a few of these birds,
having discovered the feeding time
u my chickens, have regarded the
,sPaS' as their own. At first they
we're very shy, and did not venture
INTO IN" chicken yard until had left
Ihen they hurredIy swooped
>natched a morsel, and flew
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-03-03

customed to my presence that they
would alight among the chickens and
make out a good breakfast while I
stood there scattering grain and
crumbs. But although thus familiar,
they were always on the lookout for
danger; if I stepped a triAe too near,
they we're off like a flash.
A shock of Indian corn affords a
magnificent feeding place for the
jay, but since he must share it with
his cousins, the crows, the few ears
that they can extricate do not last
long. Besides, farmers, as a rule,
consider this highway robbery on the
part of the birds and take care to
leave few of these rich mounds in
the open fields where they are &C
cessible.
An a of Indian corn suspended
from the branch of a tree is regard
ed as a wonderful boon. At the same
time, it makes an excellent bait to
attract the jay near the house, so
that interested in him may have
an opportunity of studying his ha-
bits more closely. I have found
nothing more effective to entice this
bird near my window than a head of
~sunfower seeds. The demonstration
of JOY with which he receives this de-
licious repast declares his high ap-
probation of this particular kind of
seed.
My observations have led me to
believe that the jay is a very gener-
Gus fellow with his own kith and
kin, Notwithstanding all that may be
said to the contrary in his dealings
with other birds. When he finds a
rare good feast, he does not devour
it silently and selfshly, but shouts
the goods news at the top of his
voice till his brothers and sisters are
drawn to the spot, and together they
eat it, calling out their grateful
"Spee! Spec" between every second
mouthful. This very common note,
which one always hears if there is
a jay in the neighborhood, and which
he utters on the wing as we'll as when
resting, has been translated by some
bird-lovers into Clay! JayE' instead
of "Spee! Spec" but to me the long
re" sounds is very evident. Besides
this familiar call, the jay has a Sec
ond note, which sounds very much
like "toor-de-lee! toor-de-lee!" and
which he accents with a peculiar jerk
of his entire body. This seems to be
more truly a song than the former,
in which he INDUCES when his APP
petite has been appeased, and he sits
c~ontently in the top of some tree,
at peace with the world. The jay
has another note, or song, which is
much clearer than the others. 1t has
little of the jay harshness, and is
really quite musical. l have
been able to hear this song during
the winter months. Indeed, it is but
rarely heard during the summer, and
seems to be reserved for special oc-
