THE ZEBULON RECORD, ZEBULON, NORTH CA ROLINA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER THE 24TH, 1937 What To Look For This Fall From The Chat —Published by the North Carolina Bird Club. So many of our members have written the Editor asking him how to study birds, and whether such and such information was import ant, that he offers these sugges tions. Keep a list of Hie birds you see this fall and the dates on which you see them. Some of these birds you see are Permanent Residents of your community: they are with you all through the year. Os the 115 species of birds listed by C. S. Brimley as having been seen around Raleigh up to 1930, 46 are perma nent residents. If you do not know which birds are permanent resi dents of your community, you can soon learn them by checking your list to see which birds you have seen every month. The other birds on your list may be divided into four groups: Tran sients, or birds that have nested farther north and are passing through on their way to their wint er home; Winter Visitors, that have nested farther north and will wint er in your locality, leaving you in the Spring; Summer Visitors, who have nested locally and will leave this fall to spend the winter farther to the south; Stragglers who just happen to come into your communi ty because of a storm or happen to wander off their beaten course. The Transients: Since these birds will spend a few days or a few weeks with you, it will be interest ing to note when you see them first and also the last date on which you noticed them. You may not know’ which birds on your list are tran sients, so the ones seen at Raleigh are listed below according to the first dates on which Brimley noted them. Your list will not be identi cal of course, but this may serve as a check.

In Octo ber: Gray-cheeked Thrush and Rusty Blackbird. The Winter Visitors: The impor tant date for these is the first time you see them. Next spring you will be interested in how late they stay with you, but just now it is when they arrive. They arrive in Raleigh as follows: In August: Piedbill Grebe and Marsh Hawk. In September: Cowbird, Redbreasted Nuthatch, Yellow Palm Warbler, Savannah Sparrow, Wilson’s Snipe, Bewick’s Wren, Winter Wren and Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.

The Stragglers: No one can say w’hich birds will fall in this class. Any of the more than 600 species in America may come to your lo cality. If you list a bird about which you are not sure, write THE CHAT and we will tell you what we know about it. The important thing to the North Carolina Bird Club is that you will add to the knowledge of the dis tribution of the birds over the state and also help C. S. Brimley who has been sending migration records for the state to the Biological Sur vey for more than fifty years. So send in your list. Offers Suggestions For School Lunches The school lunch should be ap petizing as well as nourishing, to tempt the youngsters to eat a suf ficient amount of the right kinds of food. A well packed lunch is not diffi cult to prepare, but it should be given care and thought. About one fourth of the child’s food requirements for the day should be supplied in the school lunch. The lunch should be consid ered along with other meals of the day in balancing the diet. Three or four kinds of foods are enough for a lunch. Suitable foods to select from are: Sandwiches made from day-old bread, preferably whole wheat, lightly buttered and with fillings made from chopped eggs, minced meats, cheese, chopped nuts mixed j with cheese, jam, or vegetables. Fruits either raw, stewed, fresh, or dried, junkets, cookies, small amounts of home-made candies, or milk chocolate. A hot dish such as cocoa, cream ed dishes, creamed soups, carried in a thermos bottle or made and served at school. The lunch should be carried in a ventilated container that can be washed and scalded, and which in cludes a thermos bottle.

CHERRY BLOSSOMS Although it is not so unusual to see a few cherry blossoms in the fall or late summer, it is rare that one bears such a crop of blooms as the one on the Richardson farm near the John Broughton home now’ shows. The abundance of white petals is beautiful, but gives the beholder a queer feeling be cause of the inappropriate time it appeared.
