April and May three special
spring thrift cruises to South

below even off-season rates, the
line announced last week.

son.
I'm continually having trouble
with the birds-or rather with
the people who describe them.
We had a woodpecker on our
tree the other day. He had a
bright red head and I naturally
thought that he must be a red
headed woodpecker.
But, not at all. I looked in the
bird book and found that a red
bellied. not a red-headed wood
pecker was paying us a call. I
looked again. and to this day /
can't see where they found any
red on my friends belly.
I took this UP with a friend
who knows lots more about birds
than I do and I was told that
you have to catch this particular
woodpecker and examine him
very closely before you can find
the red on his belly.
And even then, was told, it
isn't really red. You might say
it's pinkish. That is, If you look
long enough for It.
