SALVAGE COLLECTION RICHMOND HILL TUESDAY, APRIL let .â€"Evens-ong Good Friday and’ the feeling- of spring in the air found! us wander- ing in the dlirection of the woods up Lindsay way. We came to a lovely Maple bush owned by people whom we knew so didn’t hesitate getting over the fence. Fortunately we had‘ taken our rubbers along as the earth was quite soft underneath the dlead' leaves. However when: we started trying to dig up an hepatica root to bring home to the garden we ran into a rock of ice. It was almost unbelievable to see the heâ€" .patica sending up their new shoots out of the ice and! almost ready to bloom. We examined the sap pails to see how the sap was running 'but decided to leave the bush and} go across country. Numperous groundhogs were out sunning themselves and~ we were at- tracted to a meadow lark sitting on a tumbled. do'wn femoe nearby. The striking yellow lbreast with the large spot of black on his chest direw oucr attention to him. He wasn‘t singing ;but his appearance is» one of the first indications of spring. The meadowlark haunts the-upland pastures and is one of the farmers’ most valuable assistants. Living close to the ground! it attacks most of the worst crop foes. Moving- on over towards the lake we could s-ee some wild geese circling about and! just above some. marsh? a large crane was preparing to make a Ian-ding. ( There were all kinds of crows and blaclkibirdvs in the nearby fields and} a shrike or butch-er bird p-erchedl on a rail fence. The Shrike has a grey back with black andl white wings, ligl'ter underneath andi a black bar through the eye. Had' we) taken more time we probâ€" ab‘y could} have identified quite 33' number of birds but were satisfied. for the time being to return home with a bunch of pussy'willows. The song sparrows: are with us again. The shrufliberry near the house, the thidk-ets- on the edge of the woods or stream 'are alive with. them. The song sparrow is that medium~sizedl brown and white streaked him you hear doing so much singing these dlays. This little bird! not only fills the air with joy but the greatness of its nulmibe'rs makes it very important to farmers. The most of their food: consists of weed' seeds. It is very interesting to note that (hiring the nine months the song sparrow is with us, allow- ing seventy-five birds to- a square mile as a very conservative esti- mate of population, for the south ern cultivated parts of Ontario over eleven thousand) tons‘ of weed seed' are destroyed annually by this one species. In' the news- letter from the Toâ€" ronto Field Naturalists Clu|b we not- icedl there had (been a great deal of (excitement caused by the finding of a Richardson’s owl in the vicinity of Aishibridlge Bay. This ow} is closely related‘ to the sawâ€"whet and is vea'y rare-Dy seen in‘ this region. ' Bird Chatter We iwo‘uhd‘ be glad to recordJ the identification of any unusual bird‘s.
