WINTER 'FLY-INS' ?
Unusual Birds Spotted
This Winter In Area
By E. C. KINGSBERY
We've had some winter "fly-Ins".
The participants are not people,
but birds, and many unusual
species have been seen here dur
ing the recent cold weather and
snow.
Most of us think of spring and
summer as "bird time" and we do
have more of them around us
during the warm months. But.
they are harder to see when the
leaves are on the trees.
If you are willing to Invest an
occasional dollar for a 25-pound
sack of scratch feed, you can have
a rewarding amount of bird ac
tivity and color in your yard all
winter.
New Visitor
The handsome Fox Sparrow i
showed up here this season for c
the first time in this writer's ex- c
perience. Maybe you saw one of a
them. Rather large fqr a sparrow c
and with breast stripes that close- i
ly resemble some of the thrushes,
he might be described as an en- (
larged model cf our friendly little? s
song sparrow that lives with us
ytar 'round and sings his little
trill on every opportunity. This
song sparrow builds most frequent- c
ly in some evergreen shrub around j
your house or in your yarc. His s
striped breasts and dark brown ' "
throat spot make him easy to
recognize.
Dipped In Juice
Another unusual bird, the
Purple Pinch, showed up this
winter. He can best be described
as a small sparrow that has been
dipped head-first In raspberry
juice up to the base of his neck.
He also has a reddish-purple 1
splash on his rump. t
Both the Purple Finch and the *
Fox Sparrow breed mo6tly in
Canaca, the Fox Sparrow going as i
far north as the limit of tree6. <
Grosbeaks Here ,
The most spectacular winter
newcomers to our area this year 1
are about 100 to 200 Evening :
Grosbeaks that seem to be stay
ing exclusively in Wayah Valley,
getting daily breakfast at the
Grover Shafer's. This bird, thr
male especially, displays a plum
age of striking contrasts. He is
almost as large as a meadow lark
or starling. His base color is a
, subdued yellow, but his wings have
black edges with white center and
there is a large white patch on
the rump, visible in flight. An eye
band of bright yellow stretches
across his forehead next to his
heaVy beak and extends back over
the eyes almost to the back of his
head.
In summer, this Grosbeak flies
to northwestern Canada, some of
his tribe stopping as far south as
northern Michigan.
Robins Stay
Somewhat unusual, especially
in view of our rigorous weather,
has been the winter stay of a
few birds that normally go to
warmer country by frost or before.
We have in mind the Brown
Thrashers and several Robins that
have toughed it out this winter
on OMr premises. Flocks of Robins,
in fact, have been seen in our
area all winter.
We understand that residents
Dillard will be the speaker Sun
day night.
Attend Funeral
Mr. and Mrs. E. O. Rickman
and Mrs. S. C. Leatherman at
tended funeral services for L. C.
Plemmons in Asheville, Friday,
March 18. Mr. Plemmons was a
former member of Liberty Bap
tist Church and had served as
Sunday school superintendent and
teacher. He moved from here
about 40 years ago and members
of the community looked forward
to seeing him at Liberty on
"Homecoming Day".

>f Highlands have been in the
lablt of saying that the first sure
ilgns of spring are "a Robin on
he lawn and a new Cadillac on
Jie street" ? doubt if the robin
iart holds good this year.
It's hardly fair to mention birds
without a tribute to our own state
ilrd, the Cardinal. If you want
:olor in your winter landscape,
ust cater a little to the Cardinal.
Hr. Cardinal's brilliant red shows
lp against almost any back
cround, with a glow that makes
rou feel more cheerful instinctive
y. And the song of the Carolina
Wren has in It more optimism and
oy of life than any other music
>f nature.
An Attraction
A special attraction to the Card
nal is an ear of corn suspended
>n a coat hanger so he can pick
iff a grain at a time as suits his
ippetite. Just clip in two the
:ross-wire of the coat hanger and
nsert the two ends In an ear of
om. Then, hang it where Mr.
Cardinal (or Mrs. C) can have a
winging trapeze.
And don't forget some beef suet
or the little fellows that heed lots
>f warming food in winter.
Let's keep Franklin a real bird
anctuary.
