THE uek@.

THE cpcKeo.
 Since the only cuckoos which we have, the Yeliow-billed and the Black billed, are similar in habits, nlamage and notes, il is as well, perhaps, to de- scribe them together, 50 that the slight differences may he more easily noted.
 Both GuckoOs aFs about twelve inch es in length. with long earvins bills; they are white underneath and brown ish a6eve. Tse Yellow billed. howev- CT, has more white in the tail than the Black-billed, and it's yellow bill dis tinguishes 1t from the black one of the latter bird. If one can get near enough, the red about the eye of the Black billed Cuckoo may be seen.
 The mellow "kuh kuh kuh'' notes of the latter are more musical than the rather harsh, tree toad like cali of the Yellow billed Cuckoo.
 Excepting these calls, which are sometimes heard at night, these are ra- ther silent and unehtrnsise birds, keep ing usually well hidden in the foliage of the orchards and Foadsiaes, where. if you come too close they fly quietly and languidly to some nearby leaf-pte. tected perch, where you may search in vain for another glimpse.
 The nests are said to be similar. The Black billed Cuekoo's home is rough bunch of sticks, placed loosely and care lessly in thicket about tive feet from the ground. The eggs are greenish- blue, without gloss. The young birds present the appearance of poreupines, as the feathers are contained in long, narrow, pointed coverings, which open after few days, leaving the bird sud- denly "feathered out.8
 The Cuekoos are here by the frs of May.
 THE SCARLET TANAeER.
 l remember one spring, a few years ago, when this beautiful bird was very abundant. They came fearlessly on to our lawns, whose vivid green set off very well their brilliant red plumage. Before that time, and since then, they have not been so plenty. In the spring they are often seen on plowed ground. Later on, however they keep to the trees, and usually the forests, where the rather loeseiy-made nest is placed on the horizontal limb of tree, ten or fifteen feet from the ground, and con tains bIuish.green eggs. Occasionally they nest near houses.
 The call note is q rough, sharp unmu- sieal ''tik ehirr.n The song, which has been well described as resembling that of the Robin, If the latter had "hoarsef cold, is heard by the first week in May. The male is bright red with black wings and tail in summer; in autumn olive green above, yellowish underneath, like female.
Putnam patriot., 1909-07-30
THE FLICK FIR.

The Flicker, or Pigeon Woodpecker, is the largest member of that family common ihere. Unlike the others, he has numerous calls. The mellow, ra- pid, loud 'sha ha ha Ina ha ha ha Ina, p is heard most often in the spring. Oth- CT notes are harsh call and rapid "wicker wicker wicker wicker wicker, sounding something as small green shoot does when swished quickly up and down.
 The nest is placed in cavity which the bird itself digs out, hammering with his stout bill.
 The white rump, scarlet on head, and unduiating flight are characteristic. The back is black and brown; yellow tail; breast and sides of throat black underneath whitish, spotted with black. Length twelve inches. Flick CTS may often be seen feeding on the ground

THE CHIMNEY SWIFT.

The Chimney Swift, or Chimney Swallow, as il is often improperly call ed, arrives about April 25th.
 His rather mechanical flight. dull, sooty color, and high twittering notes should distinguish him from the swal- lows. The Swift never perches, but cIings with his weak feet to . vertical surface, using the tail as prop. have seen them snap twig from the top Of a tree, in passing, to use AS material for the nest, which, in inhabited districts, is glued with the birds saliva, 10 the inside wall of chimney.

THE HAIRY wooDPEcK FIR.

THE HAIRY woODPECkER.
 This Woodpecker is much less com- mon than the Downy or the Flecker, and, unlike them, generally keeps to the woods, where it nests, like its kind, in holes in trees. The alarm note is a piercing, metallic nteep." Like other members of the family, he creeps about the trunks and large limbs, using his tail for . prop; and hammering with his stout, chisel-like bill, into the wood; searching for insects and their eggs. He is permanent residents
 Length about ten inches. Black and white above, white below, nape red; the female lacks the red on the nape.
 THE powSY wooDPEcKEg.
 Length about six inches. Except in size, the Downyis nearly like the Hairy Woodpecker, but he is less shy, and Is common about the houses as well as in the woods. The nest is in hole in an apple tree or other trees. The call note is similar to the Hairy's. but not as loud. He also has a rolling call of five or six notes, which is similar in tone to the Robin s call notes.
 In the winter he may be attracted to the house in company with the Nut matches, by placing piece of suet in a tree near by.
