A MECCA FOR THE BIRDS

MY! It seems like summer down
here in Ellisport compared with many
other parts of the IslandW So ex-
claimed a salesman the other day.
And the birds, too, surely think 1t q
sheltered, favored spot, for they have
been flocking here-thousands of
them-since the cold spell, especially
Alaska robins, varied thrushes, Ore
gon towhees, pine siskins, waxwings,
and juncos. For many days they
feasted on the food God had provided
for them-on the beautiful red berries
with which the madrona, mountain
ash and dogyood trees were covered
later on cotoneaster and huckleberries
and the varied meals set out in all our
yards, as well as on our porches and
window stills. Cereals, bread, cracked
wheat, suet and apples were among
the most favored foods. 1t was also
a beautiful sight to see their delight
when pans of warm drinking water
were set out for them, dozens of them
around the brims dipping their bills
In at the same time. A hot stone i'm
nersed in the center we found kept
the water at mild temperature for
several hours even on the coolest days.
II pays in many ways to protect and
cultivate the birds.
According to the annual bird census
taken in Seattle few weeks ago by
only nine observers we still have many
varieties in this region. Total species

vidual birds counted. Contributed
