Feeding Birds

The weather Of the past week en-
phasized the need Of being ready to
feed our birds when they need to be
fed. Snow and ice at this time Of the
year may do more harm than later
in the winter, when we are expecting
it and have food at hand and shelters
built. Satisfactory feeding stations
for quail and pheasants are easily
constructed. Two forked sticks driven
in the ground three or four feet
apart, stick laid across them, few
cedar or pine boughs or a bundle of
fodder to complete the lean-to - and
you have it. Locate the shelter on a
hill slope facing south. Be sure there
is enough natural cover around to al
low the birds to use the station with
out being exposed to hawks and verm-
in. In an emergency such as we have
just had, few handfulls of grain
scattered over cleared spots under
low evergreens will do a lot of good.
Well-fed quail are in little danger
from the weather. But if they go so
long as forty1eight hours without
food they are so weakened that they
become easy prey to both cold and
natural enemies.
