As long as these birds can hnd some
protected place to nest they are sure to
remain In spite Of our civilization, for q
colony of several hundred of them still
nest in the naples of dense eswamp
only few miles from New York City.
Great blue herons perched la5ily IN
the tops of the trees. Looking in one
direction I counted over hundred of
them. They were sailing in continually
and departing. The night herons
fiuttered about in a jerky. labored
flight, lighting in the willows and how
ering over their nests.
A night heron's, or. as often called,
a squawk's nest looks to me like a

Young Heron Hangs Himself.

Several times we saw young night
heronS hanging dead in the branches
OF the trees. In one tree we found two
OF these youngsters hanging side BY
side. only q foot apart In walking
about the limbs the larger OF the two
birds had caught its foot IN . crotch
and hanged itself head downward THAI
In itself was not unusual, but the secs
ond bird hung by the neck only few
inches away 1t seems that this smaller
heron had hanged itself rather than
fall TO the ground: he had fallen or
overbalanced on the small limb and, as
is the custom. had hooked his chin
over the branch to keep from falling
to the ground. His clutched right foot
showed that the death struggle had been
a reaching and stretching to gain tbs
limb. The head was not caught be-
tween the branches as was the other
birds foot. but was simply hooked over
the bend in the twig. Had he thrown
his head back little he would have
dropped to the ground. We demon
strated this by turning the bill 70 an
angle OF forty-hve degrees and the
body dropped to the bushes twenty
feet below. How the bird could have
held the rigid position OF the neck

understand. unless IL was a case where
force OF instinct was strong svsn to
death
The last trip we made to the heronry
we found the limbs OF the sycamore as
well loaded with young herons az q
good apple tree Is loaded with fruit.
The moment we started to climb the
tree with our cameras was the signal
for the breaking loose OF a sqEawking
bedlam- Young ~squawks" Jabbered
all sorts Of epithets from the nest edge
and retreated along the limbs as we
drew nearer. The young blue herons
savagely disputed every foot OF our
climb. They aimed a fusillads OF stabs
at US from all sides, and we took great
care not to get within reach OF their
tree-top Il took some little rnaneuver-
ing to oust a pair OF snraged young

In Colors of Sea and Sky.
Nature has built the heron in an ex-
tremefy practical way. She dressed
him in colors of sky and water. She
did not plant his eyes in the top of his
head as she did those of the wood
cock, because he is not likely to be in
jured from above, but she put them
right on the lower, sloping side of his
head so he could look straight down
at his feet without the slightest side
turn. She let his legs grow too long
for perching conveniently on tree,
just so he could wade in deep enough
to fish. She gave him dagger-shaped
bill at the end of a neck that was long
enough to reach bottom as we'll as keep
his eyes high above water, so he could
see and aim correctly at the creature
below surface.
1t is said that occasionally a pair OF
great blue herons will build an isolated
nest, but never found one. The heron
likes a remote fishing preserve of his
own, but he loves to live in a small,
village community to which he can
return each evening and enjoy the So
cial life among his neighbors, dwelling
in mutual protection.
He is remarkable bird in adapting
himself to circumstances In a bird ot
such long legs and of such proportions
one would naturally think his nesting
place would be on the ground. In the
lake region of Southern Oregon we did
find the great blue heron nesting on the
ground. surrounded on all sides by
gulls, cormorants. pelicans and terms.
But in other portions of our country
a colony of these birds will select the
tallest frs, deep back in the forest. or
the sycamores. willows and NAPLES in
the midst Of a swamp.
We made the first trip to the heronry
on April 21 and found that most of the
nests contained eggs. There were
about seven hundred nests In the whole
colony, of which the larger number
were black-crowned night herons The
great blues and the night herons occu-
pied the same trees, nesting side by
side. The larger nests were built al
most entirely in the tops of the syca-
mores, while the night herons set their
platform nests at the very upturned
tips of the sycamore's limbs and in the
lower surrounding willows and alders

through in one place for few feet,
but over and through all was a net
work of poison oak and blackberry that
we could not penetrate. There was not
the sign Of a path. After two hours
we went to the point opposite the
largest tree and decided to push and
cut our way through. The first few
yards we crawled on our hands and
knees. pushing our cameras or drag
ging them behind. Unable to crawl
farther, we had to clear a way and
climb ten-foot brush neap. For few
yards We ducked under and wiggled
along in the bed OF ditch, in mire to
our knees. I never saw such a tangled
mass OF brush. Fallen limbs and trees
OF alder, swamp maple and willow were
interlaced with blackberry brier, poison
oak and the rankest growth of nettles.

OYSTER BAY. n. Y, July H.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has rendered his good
offices to President Dlaz. OF Mexico. to
settle the squabble between Salvador
and Guatemala. and 1t is possible that
Sycamore Hin will again figure as an
international altar of peace
Acting uader orders from the Presi-
dent, the State Department has yester-
day wired President Dlaz that the
United States stood ready TO cooperate
with him in settling the differences Of
his Central American nelghbors. The
State Department did not announce in
the offer 70 President Diaz what action
the United States would take in the
event of the situation becoming more
acute but II is understood that the of
fer Of good offices" is susceptible OF
very broad Interpretation, and may
mean anything from a friendly express
sion Of good WILL to sending TO the scene
Of hostilities a fleet Of bartleships and
an invading army. The President does
not believe, however, that the present
Central American fuss win involve the
United States in any serious work. He
IS of the opinion that as soon as the
parties In the unpleasantness learn that
il is the desire of both Mexico and the
United States that they come to terms
ana that unless they do so they stand
a good show Of receiving a wholesome
spanking, they viii speedily quit their
