BOMTi: nf t.hp. IfifldinP" fami
lies of birds resident in
Pinehurst were on Mon
day evening introduced
by Miss Olney to a most
appreciative group of
people who met in the cosy Library to
pay their respects to those Village nota
bles. The birds would have preferred to
meet their friends in daylight and in the
open air, but consented to be represented
by fine colored pictures on this occasion.
The Mocking bird, said Miss Olney, is,
of course, the most prominent resident,
and he is also the most friendly and so
ciable. Each of these birds, with a little
encouragement, selects a cottage to live
near, and then woe betide any other bird
who dares think of invading his terri
tory !
The Catbird, Brown Thrasher and
Carolina Wren are members of the same
family and their melodious songs, to some
extent, resemble one another. These last
three one meets but seldom in the main
streets of the Village they prefer to stay
in the suburbs.
Flocks of small, dark slate-colored
birds are often seen here. The dark
color stops abruptly half way down the
breast, and the rest of the under part is
white "as if he had been sitting on the
neat when God painted him." The outer
tail feathers are also white. This modest
little bird is the Junco, and who would
think that he was a member of the same
family with the showy Cardinal? Both
belong to the Finch and Sparrow family.
The Junco looks more like a pocket edi
tion of the Mocking bird than like his
handsome relative. The Cardinal may
be seen near streams in this neighbor
hood. His mate forms a pretty contrast
to him in her brownish dress, bright red
beak, wings and tail, and she is said to
sing fully as well as he. The song is in
part a melodious whistle.
One member of the numerous family
of Warblers (named on the Hucus a non"
principle because they can't sing), is here
in large numbers all winter. He is the
Myrtle Warbler and is very soberly at
tired in cold weather, but may be easily
identified by a bright yellow spot on the
rump. The rest of the coloring is spar
row like. These little warblers are con
stantly flitting through the shrubbery
along the main street, uttering their
sharp "Chip, chip !"
Other families spoken of were the Nut
hatch, Woodpecker and Waxwing.
The series of colored pictures of the
birds, recently placed in the Library,
added much to the interest of the occa
sion. There are about fifty of these, all
of them being birds found in or near the
Village.
They have -already been a source of
much interest to those who have in
