Feeding Birds in Canada

One of the passages in the

j. w. Dawson Stearns of Anna
polls Royal, Nova Scotia.
Thanks very much for your
hints about bird-feeding. Your
shelf and saucer of water may
be fine for North Carolina, but
would not be of much use in a
climate where the water would
freeze solid in 5 or 10 minutes
and the snow would quite obli-
terate the shelf. Nevertheless,
we feed the birds and have
lovely lot of feathered visitors
in blue jays, nut matches, red
polls, snow birds, etc, not ex-
cepting the crows and sparrows.
But they do not seem to inter-
fere with each other and all get
a share. My wife clears a space
