We read quite often ‘bits of verse' in- ispired by this golden colored bird and those of you who have studied the goldfinch and its habits will ap- preciate the descriptiveneSS of these lines: WILD CANARY You think it’s just a comm-on bird But once I saw a fairy Pick a yellow dandelion And make a wild canary. We have never seen so many cat- 'b‘irds together as on one morning recently. They too must 'be getting ready to migrate. The odd warbler may be seen these days as they are passing through on their way to southern climates. A pair of blackâ€"throated blues was noticed the other day. They are quickly identified by the white spot on the wing. A pine warbler and a Canadian warbler were also seen.

These are the only woodpeckers with the entire head and neck red. If you have a window box, sun- flower seeds are good, and sweep- ings from nut stores can be bought cheaply. Do not put out a metal container. In frosty weather the bird's tongue might adhere to it. (Contributed) We are nearing the time when food for birds will be scarce. so if you wish to help these feathered friends, and also provide a winter's entertainment for yourself please put out a little food for them. The cost is small. Possibly the price of one picture show will do for the whole winter. Fortunate are those ‘who have a tree which can be seen from a window. Hang up a chunk of suet, tied well, and suspended so that it can swing at the end of a string, and you will be almost sure to have a few cheerful chickadees around. Downy woodpeckers and nuthatches ‘will be other frequent visitors. Dli. JAMES R. LANGSTAFF Office Hours: 9â€"11 am. daily except Sunday and 6-8 pm. daily except Sunday and Wednesday ‘ Drs.
