A Bird Quiz for Boys“ and Girls See Next Week’s Liberal Bird Chatter is preparing a Bird Quiz for boys and girls, fifteen years and y0ung'er."It will be printed in “The Liberal” of Octcber 8th. Three cash prizes will be given for the three best set of answers. First prize $1.00, second prize 65¢, third prize 35c. Watch for particulars about the contest and: the quiz ques- tions in next week’s issue of “The This last day of September has been an interesting one in the gar- den. Five kinds of sparrOWS are here: English, song, white throated, white crowned! and tree sparrows. They seem to be attracted by seeds and berries and are in and out from lawn to shrubbery and back to bird bath. The hermit thrush too likes the lawn and shrubs. He is the last thrush to migrate south, and is also the smallest of the thrushes, and his reddish tail is his characteristic fea- ture. The myrtle warblers are still here in great numbers and an occaâ€" sional Nashville wanbler. Both kingâ€" lets â€"â€" rubyvcrowned and goldenâ€" crowned, tiny green grey birds with bright head markings are flitting a- bout in the leaves and capturing many insects and larvae. The gold- finches are stripping seeds from cosmos and keeping up their conâ€" tinuous canary-like notes both when feeding and in flight. The downy woodpeckers are sampling pieces of suet, both old' pieces from last win- ter and new ones just hung out. A friend of ours greeted us this morning with ‘We have an educa'ted downy woodpecker at our place' and when; we doubted the veracity of his statement he asked, ‘Well how do the d'ownys know where to find the corn borers?’ He continued with the information that a downy wood- pecker is going through his corn field: along the ground, choosing a corn stalk, flying up about two feet from the ground, taps the stalk with his bill and produces a borer for his breakfast. We thought this bit of news was interesting from several stand-points. It’s rather unusual to see a downy going along on the ground and how does he know just where in the corn stalk the borers are? Also how does he know the borers make their way towards the root of the stalk at this time of year. So many questions might aâ€" rise out of this interesting bit of in.- formation and I suppose we’ll just have to sum them up by the much used answer, ‘It’s just nature!’ This is another good reason for further protection of the downy woodpecker. prize $1 prize 3% about t‘n tions in Liberal” A sparrow hawk was on a fence post by the roadside. While we watched him he flew down into the field thvee times, each time bring- ing back What seemed to be a grass- hopper which he quickly devoured. Many of our summer bird' friends are falj away now, but there are still a great many to enjoy. THURSDAY, OCTOBER lst, 1942. BIRD CHATTER We had quite a close-up view ox this, the smallest and mOst beau- tiful of our ha-wks. He is a little larger than a robin and is the only small Canadian hawk with much red- colouring. The tail and back are a‘ dull brick red and the face has a conspicuous white patch on each side. This little bird. should not be called sparrow hawk. Ornithologists regret that he was given this name for he will not take birds except when extremely hungry. His food is mostly grasshoppers, spiders, crickâ€" ets and> other. insects also mice and small leptiles. We often see him over meadows stopping and hovering for a moment on quickly beating wings before dropping down» for his prey. Being such a beneficial bird he should be protectted. We also sawâ€"a few white throated sparrows, many cedl‘ar waxwing‘s‘, some chickad-ees and‘ flickers. ‘ Inmdentally this is the time for puff balls arid they seem plentiful. We saw evidence of the value of the black billed cuckoo the other day. A pair were noticed quite fre- quently having a meal! on the large catenpxllars which are stripping the Walnut trees nearby of its leaves. 7 p.m.â€"~Evenin\g worship. Rev. Jas. D.
