DESERT SPARROW


Amphispizd bilineatu deserticolo).
To rejoice with all ones heart
when so many do not see anything
to be happy about, is a wonderful
gift. The black-throat or desert
sparrow has become famous for his
beautiful song that is poured forth
from any thorny bush along the
way.
The range of this black throat
there are three species, is a much
wider one than is enjoyed by his
Eastern cousin or the common black
throat. The territory of the desert
singer Is the Pecos country of Texas,
west to the Pacific and from Ne
yada and Utah south to Lower Cali
fornia, Sonora and Chihuahua.
This gay little mate places her
nursery in cactus or other desert
shrubs. 1t Is not very far from the
ground and is constructed of fine
shreds OF bark and dried grasses for
the outer wall. The inner one is
lined with fine blades of grass. In
this cozy bassinet is placed three or

lour plain greeniSh eggs, some Of
them may be blush white.
During the building operations the
singer is close by giving his best
songs and most rapt attention. The
small architect, apparently, is too
busy to pay much heed to his en-
dearment, but it is always noticed
she seems very happy to take the
time to fly away for a bite to eat
and a little jaunt away from the
cares OF the day.
There does not appear to be any
outstanding activities on the part
OF her mate to do any work. He
does seek the top of the highest
bushes and broadcasts his happies.
songs. This Is more than likely all
she desires. A happy husband. eager
to have you join him for lunch and
dinner is a blessing she is well
aware OF and she knows full well
when the time comes he will carry
his share of labor with the same
spirit of cheerfulness.
Her quiet time on the nest is
made pleasant by the softer and
more endearing songs. They are
meant for her alone. When the
wee babies open their amazingly
large mouths for food their father
is on hand to feed them. When he
is on the lookout for iuects his
mate has made the returMErip with
her supply. Even with tae' hectic
racing back and forth to the mar
ket place for enough food to satisfy
the inceSsant demands, he finds time
to sing.
These birds are clothed in gray
coats. There is conspicuous stripe
over the eye and on each cheek of
pure white. The chin. throat and
center part of the chest is velvety
black. The under surface Is white
shading to gray. The sharp short
bill and the large deep brown eyes
give to this charming little bird q
look of poise and dependability.
The younger generation resembles
the parents though they do not have
the distinct marking on the head.
They have grayish streaks on their
chest. When they don their we'd
ding flnery the coming spring they
will wear the same uniform as their
parents and cannot be told apart.

a swallow sAJ

= SWAiioW sJ
They may winter in South America
and spend the summer In Canada,
but they can find their way.
DR. Frank A. Knowlton, a scientist
and bird expert. tells about q colony
OF cliff swallows which he watched
coming back to the same nests,
Here, in shortened form, is his ac-
count Of an event which took place
during the time he studied these
birds:
The birds made their homes in
shed which was open on one side.
In general, they returned to their
nests of the year before. One pair,
which was closely watched, came
back to the same nest for several
seasons.
"One year, however, the nest
which that pair had been using was
walled up with mud. In the fall,
the sealed entrance to the nest was
broken open. and the remains of a
swallow were found inside. 1t ap-
pears that one of the owners of the
nest had died. and had been sealed
in so no effort to use the same nest
would be made the next year"
Important facts about birds have
been learned through marking. This
custom has become widespread only
during the present century. but
there are records of 1t going back
more than two centuries.
During or about the year 17O6, a
metal ring was placed on the leg Of
heron in Turkey. In ITO this
heron was captured In Germany,
and the metal ring showed that the
heron was the same one which had
been marked in Turkey.
In later times marks were made on
feathers with indelible ink or paint.
or bits of wire or colored yarn were
twisted around the legs. In this way
a few persons were able to make sure
that the same birds came back to
certain nests season after season.
John j. Audubon, famous painter
OF birds. placed silver wires on COM
mon phoebes. and proved that soma
of them kept breeding in the same
district. Audubon lived near Phila-
delphia during his young manhood.
Later he spent much Of his time
[ studying birds in Kentucky and
other States west of Pennsylvania.
Bird banding has become a COM
mon thing on this continent, thanks
largely to Government help. Hun

Consider the Fritter

batter like this as base, there is
an endless variety of fruits and veg
etables which go we'll in fritters.
Personally, add bit more milk
than the recipes say, because I like
fritters not too "bready." Also. I
always add an extra egg-and always
beat yolks and whites separately.
because that means when the white
is folded in last the fritter is apt to
be more crisp.
Using this batter, slices of apple
added to the batter make grand frit-
ters-about spoonsful of batter for
each fritter, with five or six slices
OF apple resting in the middle. Cook
it to medium brown on the under
side and then turn over with a pam
cake turner and cook it on the other
side. Serve hot and fast-and add
touch of powdered sugar.
Leftover canned fruits make good
fritters, too. Ripe red cherries
with the pits emoved-about five or
six cherries for each fritter-sim-
ply wonderful!
Or use minced clans or oysters
instead of fruits-there one has a
