hear until they are almost out of sight.
When they alight the chattering keeps
up as bird after bird finds a perch in
some tree. At last all are settled COM
fortably, but let any bird become alarmed
and the flock is Rgain in an uproar. They
are solemn birds, and stalk about with
dignifed gait. while the sunlight plays on
their black, iridescent plumage.
The phoebe is as confding as the
grackle is distrustful. She builds her
nest under the caves OF our porch or on
beam in our barn. The phoebes are
the earliest hycatchers to arrive from the
South, coming in March. The other
members of the family wait until warmer
weather has brought out larger supply
OF insects. If We watch phoebe perched
on the tip Of branch We shall see her
make short fight into the air and re-
turn to the same perch and repeat this
performance from time to time. Each
OF these flights means that an insect fly
ing close at hand has fallen a victim,
The family name of fycatcher comes
from this habit of taking insects on the
wing The beaks of these birds are
lifted to this work, being very wide at
the base. 1t is comical sight to see a
phoebe gnlping down some big insect, Of
which the wings and legs protrude from
the beak. 1t calls to mind the first at
tempt in eating spaghetti at an Italian
table d'hote.
The little chipping sparrow is another
dooryard companion. The chestnut
crown with a black line over the eye
enables us, to identify this little bird.
He is not iongster, but makes up in
zeal for his deficiency in ability. He
sings away 'Chippy, chippy, chippy"with
a whole-soaled vigor not excelled by the
wood thrush in his finest solos.
The fox sparrow, which arrives at the
same time as Chippy, is the largest men,
Der of his family. He does not stop with
us for the summer, but keeps on to
point further north. His name fits him
well, for he is bright red brown above
and his light breast is covered with large
brown spots. At first glance one might
mistake him for a thrush, but the thick
bill of seed-eating bird tell to what fam
lily he belongs. He is a fine songster.
One more bird-the flicker-is of
marked personality. He belongs to the
woodpecker family, but unlike the other
members does not make his living ex-
clusively from insects in the trunks of
trees. He has great fondness for ants,
and his long, strong bill can be used liks
a pick to dig into their hills. He is dressed
in varied coat. The ground effect is
brown, with a black crescent OIL the
throat, red patch on the back OF the
head, a white rump, which shines out as
he flies, and deep yellow under side to
his wings. His spring courtship is a
ludicrous performance. He has call of
"Whicker, whicker," which sounds like
the constant flicking of slender switch.
While giving this call he and his COM
panion strut and bow back as though in
dnlging in some complex dance.
