Text Appearing Before Image:
mes the bulk, sprang his weird rattle, while, at intervals, there wasa sudden and surprising outburst of screams and calls from a flock of rose-breasted Parrots, White-crowned, climbing about in the pine trees—pines andParrots are not commonly associated. The first is here at the southern limit ofits sea-level range; the second goes but little farther north, but, from force ofcircumstances, the birds frequent this tree of boreal origin more often than anyother. Seeing a little flock fly from a pine into a small tree, thinly branched, butwith rather dense foliage at the ends of the limbs, we decided to inspect thebirds at close range. At a distance of 30 yards, close examination, with andwithout a glass, revealed only five birds, but as we clapped our hands seveurteen birds flew from the tree! I should like to return to the Isle of Pines in April, when the Thrushes aredoubtless singing and possibly thousands of north-bound migrants make ittheir resting-place. Havana, October 17, 1918
Text Appearing After Image:
When the North Wind BloWs By A. A. ALLEN, Ph D., Assistant Professor of Ornithology, Cornell UniversityWith photographs by the Author THERE is something incongruous about birds and snow that appeals toone. The association of birds with flowers and green trees is so much apart of man that when a flock of Larks whisks by in a snowstorm, orwhen a tiny Chickadee perches on an icicle near his window, it gives him athrill quite out of keeping with the weather. So strong is the association ofideas in the human race that it is difficult to convince some persons that thereare birds that really thrive in cold weather and that prefer braving a northernwinter to migrating to the sunny South. Some even think that the birds foundin winter are the poor weaklings that have been left behind, which must there-fore be cared for until spring. If most of us were asked the best time to study birds, we would answer,with one accord. May, the month of migration, when the woods and fields areteeming with birds
