The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1908-05-24

No one can deny that he is a noisy
fellow, but there is such an element of
good cheer and spirit about him, and
III all of his noise. that very much can
be pardoned in him.
He IS bird of an unusually pepperv
temper l have seen a robin become
Sc eXasperated and angry that he was
affected much the same as people are,
under like conditions-he appeared 20
find the day surprisingly warm, and to
experience difficulty in breathing.
The circumstances were exceedingly
interesting. 1t occurred on an early
spring day. For some reason, doubt
less known TO himself, a robin had
taken possession of an apple tree and
appeared TO resent any intrusion bv
other members of the bird world. While
absent from his tree for a short time
a small flock of Bohemian waxwings
innocently enough came within the pre-
serves of Mr.. Redbreast. drawn thith-
er by certain apples which had hung
on the tree all winter. They proceeded
TO feed upon these apples, in their
quiet, well-behaved manner, and an
peared TO be getting much satisfaction
from the fruit.
Then the robin returned and trouble
began to brew. The robin first tried
scolding. and how he did talk to those
harmless waXwings. 1t seemed a real
pity that there was not among them a

real David, who would go out against
this noisy and insulting boaster and
give him the fight for which he seemed
to be spelling. Presently the robin de-
cided to adopt more effective measures.
and he proceeded TO charge the wax
wings, which hitherto had paid no at
tention to him. In every instance the
waxwing would yield, either flying up
little way, almost Immediately set
Ting back on the twig from which he
had been driven, or he would fly to
another part of the tree. This was the
policy pursued by these birds in meet
ing the attacks of the enraged robin
He, scolding all the time, and working
himself into fury, again and again
hurled himself at the waxwings. They.
just as often, would leave one position
and quietly settle in another, without
one note of protest, or the elevation of
a single feather. This exasperated the
robin beyond all control He simply
flew from one to another OF the wax
wings, hurting at them the worst bill
llngsSate at his command. He seemed
utterly beside himself over the condition
which, among human beings, rouses the
ire, namely, that the other fellow would
not talk back. Two must become in
terested if there is to be a quarrel, and
the waXwings simply declined to be-
come party to anything of the sort;
in fact, they ignored the redbreast as

effectively as if he had not been in the
neighborhood The fires of his wrath
burned too fiercely for the robin; after
dashing about in the most frantic man.
ner and accomplishing absolutely moth
ing, he dropped upon a limb and from
sheer exhaustion, painted, with palpi-
tating body and dropping wings; and
though he resumed his attack a little
later, not till they were ready to go did
the waxwings go.
Robins Nest and Eggs.
5.-The nest of the robin is usually
built of coarse stalks, rootlets and
leaves. all woven into mud walls and
lined with finer grasses. When the
nest is built in a tree. it is generally
saddled into the crotch; sometimes I
have found it upon a horizontal limb
near an upright branch to which one
side was made fast In seeking a To-
cation. robins seem to prefer to come
near to the abode of man; though,
since they are to be found in sections
of the country where there are no peO-
pie near, they do not require such To-
cation. Sometimes they place their
nests in the most unexpected places.
Some years ago l watched a pair of
robins build their nest at the junction
of the brace with the rafter, i'm the pro-
lection of a depot roof: the nest was
barely ten feet from the snOrting en-
