much Of his time looking for the tiny
teathered creatures. listening for their
songs, and observing their family at.
fairs, love markings. and home building
Soon. Mr.. Ratliff will take to the
state biologist his twenty-first Annual
report on the birds of the Whitewater
river. But the rigid formal report
does not begin to tell of the interest,
the pleasure and enjoyment that the
study Of the river valleys birds has
given HIM. as he tramps through fields.
woods and marshes each year looking
for new friends among the feathered
folk. In this years report, 1873 separ.
ate species were noted, from a single
specimen of the Blue crane, green
heron, bald and golden eagle and cave
swallow. to hundreds of pigeons, spar
rows. crows and blackbirds. Many
OF Mr.. Ratliff's bird friends are not
permanent visitors in the valley, but
stop here for short time in spring
and autumn on their way to their
summer and winter homes.
