Plans for August 23 wiil be announced later. All day long the warbling vireo sings his song. Over and! over he repeats that warble which might be “Dickery-Dickery-Dock” if we may attempt to interpret bird music by human words. We wonder that we missed that song so long for since becoming familiar with it, have heard it so very often. “Having- ears and} ye hear no ,” might be applied to us all. This little bird is often diffi- cult to locate for we observed this summer that it sings while on the nest, and the nest is usually near the top of a tree. It is a small olive-backed bird, without wing bars and is whitish underneath. The vireos are most useful for their food consists of ninety-one per cent in- sects and the remainder wild fruit. On the same drive we heard an- other unusual bird song, very clear and resembling that of the goldfinch. This time it was an indigo bunting perched on a dead limb and very lovely there in the sunshine. He is a small bird of a deep ultramarine colour. The female is a plain brown little bird not at all like her hand- some husband». These birds are most useful as they eat many canker worms. AJriend on Roseview called us to see a chipping sparrow’s nest.in a rose bush on his lawn. In it were three small eggs and one larger one which was that of a cowbird. The cowlbirds are the only lazy members of our Canadian bird world. They ‘le not build nests but lay eggs in ‘small birds’ nests. Usually the tiny adult birds are fooie: and we have seen them feeding baby cowbirds twice their own, size. Is there any more delightful drive than along a'country road bordered by trees? One morning about two tweeks ago while driving slowly along such a road we heard a beautiful bird song. Stopping to listen longer we determined the tree from where the music came, and on getting out of the car were pleased to see a purple finch in- plain view on a spruce tree. We usually see this bird early in the spring While still some snow is on the ground, But here he was, singing away on this warm summer day. He is a pretty fellow, about sparrow size, more of a deep rose than purple, with pink breast and brown wings. above and wnlte below, Wlth a curv- ed bill and a very long tail. He is very shy so rather difficult to see, but he is fond of tent caterpillars so we hope he stays around. Unlike the European member of the family, which lays its eggs in other birds’ nests, our cuckoo builds its own nest A black-billed cuckoo has been heard quite often lately in the vill- age. His note is a double one. A friend remarked that it sounds a bit like a turkey in the distance. He is larger than a. robin, olive brown above and white below, with a curv- ed bill and a very long tail. He is very shy so rather difficult to see, Teston and District Bird Cimxi’ter slowly along a beautiful listen longer from where ghten- job to ence‘ A cyclone and hailstorm visited the district Sunday. The storm was a real old time “twister" and‘ it played many pranks. It carried off five rods of fence from Walter Ben- son’s farm, and' a number of bee- hives from C. Rollen’s.
