By Charles 3. Trace,Oeu.

IDENTIFY some quail have more tra6ac sense
than some folks.
Maybe you can enlighten me about
my mockingbird.
FOR years have had one winter about
my house (maybe not always the same
one) but have never seen him accom-
panied by 4 female.
DO you suppose my mockingbird is .
bachelor or widower or does he send his
wife south for the winter2
Sincerely. w. H. H."
p. S.-The National Association Of
Audubon Societies. should award you Q
prize for you have done more for bird
welfare in the District Of Columbia and
nearby Virginia and Maryland than any
one else"
This valued correspondent, who has
loved the birds for many years, points
to the ground as the natural feeding
place, and he is right
Bird feeding is as simple as that.
1t may be made as complicated as one
desires, but actually 1t is simple-just
throw some food on the ground
The birds will do the rest.
This is why this grand indoor -outdoor
sport is growing year by year, as people
f1nd 1t can be done by any one with a
good heart.
While 1t is interesting to construct
feeding boxes, with hoppers and SO on,
with porches and perches and little
roofs, or should 1t be rooves, and If it
isn't, why shouldn't 1t be, still such de-
vices are not necessary.
This means that any one in the city,
with no more than window SILL or Just
bit Of tin roof can feed the birds quite
on a par with the owner of the most
extended estate, and he with men OF all
work to 60 trudging out In the snow
and winds to fill up the boxes so that no
bird shall go hungry.
1t is interesting to buy or make a
bird-feeding station. Many fine ones
are on the market, in tin. wood, glass
and so on.
Not word can be said against their
use, and there is no need to say any.
but II the time comes When you do
not wish to use them. feel sure that 1t
will be all right with the birds
just select spot beneath shrub, or
big climbing rose vine.
Put out plenty of food each morning,
and watch the birds find It,
1t is WELL as our correspondent sug-
gests, to sweep clear space If snow has
fallen. If 1t continues to fall during the
day, it might be necessary to sweep it
again in the early afternoon.
Swept or not. the place will be treasure
trove for the birds.
They will dig down through the snow,
If necessary.
They are. after all, smart. as we say
today-smart with the stored up irtelli-
gence of the oldest Of creatures.

Dear Sir: This year I have done iii
my feeding on the ground In . nice
southern exposure about - feet from my
house and windows.
"The ground Is the natural feeding
place for birds during the winter season
and It can accommodate more of them
than on = feeding shelf.
when there is snow sweep q good
big place for them.
During the winter have had quite q
variety. sometimes stray visitors for
only day or so and think I have had
visit from every variety that freuuents
this section Of the District.
Since the big snow in January have
gotten much pleasure feeding q coyey Of
quail. Every year there is one or more
coveys that frequent a large tract of
land opposite my house which is seldom
visited by the folks of this section.
1T is heavily covered by underbrush
and small trees. During the summer
male and female of these birds would
often visit my yard and became quite
tame and accustomed to the surround-
ings.
In the early fall they came over.
bringing their family. six young quail
about half grown, but after winter set In
saw nothing Of them.
when the big snow came I was very
anxious about them because Of the ex-
cessive cold. but on the fourth day I
was delighted one morning about Q
O'Clock to see them feeding with the
other birds all mingling together like
old friends.
Since then they have returned eyery
day. During the winter something had
happened to one Of the flock as there
are only seven now.
Realizing that those quail are safe
and not starving has more than repaid
me for my feeding efforts during the
winter for it will not be long now before
I will hear their CHEEKY 'bobwhite.'
Speaking of tracks in the snow, did
you ever notice the quail tracks?
"As they pass over the snow they leave
track or trail that looks exactly as if
some one had laid down an iron chain
with links about IL inches wide and
carefully picked 1t up again.

Now don't think that I am daffy
about quail. but there is something in
teresting about this particular lot
I'm order to get from my lawn back
to their field they have to cross public
road on which there is a good deal of
auto trafic, and after watching them
number Of times have never seen them
walk across this road
Invariably they will assemble at the
edge of my lawn and fly across the road,
alighting just on the other side. Evil
