English Lad's Request Brings Speedy Action
A lad in England, unknowp'
here, who loves birds set things
humming in Southern Pines last
week, causing a busy secretary
and a bank executive to hustle
around overtime to give hto the
information he wanted. It hap
pened like this.
Miss Mary Wintyen, an author-
itv. on birds who before the press
of her secretarial work was a
long-time Southern Pines Bird
Club member, serving as presi
dent for 10 years, found in her
postoffice box on Saturday a let
ter addressed to the secretary of
the Bird club. Knowing that club
officers were not yet back from
the North, and noting the English
postmark, she opened the letter
and read the following, sent from
55 Sandringham road. South Gos-
forth, Newcastle on Tyre 3
England:
“Dear Sir:
“I would be pleased if you
could put me in touch with
a boy about my own age who
is interested in birdwatching.
“I am interested in all birds,
especially sea birds, waders
and wild fowl.
“I would like the chance of
, finding out which birds live
in your part of the U. S. A.
and something of their habits.
Yours sincerely,
Leo McGpwen.”
Miss Wintyen thought that a
Boy Scout would make the ideal
correspondent for the English lad,
so on Sunday she contacted Norris
Hodgkins, Jr., Troop Committee
chairman, to have him suggest
one. Sunday night he and James
Menzel, of Troop 73, who is work
ing for his bird merit badge, call
ed on Miss Wintyen to get Leo’s
address, and Jimmy was briefed
on his new “appointment.”
Miss Wintyen then went into ac
tion to locate a copy of Dr.
Achorn’s bird book, written a
number of years ago and at pres
ent not available at the local book
store. After numerous inquiries
she finally found that she could
purchase a copy frorri Levi
Packard of Pinebluff. On Wed
nesday, half a week from the time
Leo’s letter arrived, a reply was
on its way by air mail, bearing
the information that the book was
following by regular mail.
Miss Wintyen wrote the boy a
long, interesting letter, excerpts
from which The Pilot asked per
mission to share with its readers:
“You asked to be put in touch
with a boy of about your own
age, but Leo, you didn’t mention
how old you were. Nevertheless
I decided to get in touch with
the Scoutmaster who would select
a Boy Scout to really answer your
letter. He is a nice lad and you
will be hearing from him. shortly !
“To give you an idea, better'
than any letter could possibly do,'
of the birds that can be identified
in and arPund Southern Pines, ]
am sending you tomorrow a book
called “A Guide To The Winter'
Birds of the North Carolina Sand
hills.Don’t let the ‘winter’ mis
lead you to think that^it is a list
of birds we see only in the winter'
time, because under each identi
fication and description of a spe
cies you will find the distribution,
which tells whether or not we
have the bird all year round, just
in the winter, or if it is a tran
sient. Then again, the pictures
throughout the book of Southern
Pines, Aberdeen, Pinehurst and
Pinebluff (towns within a radius
of seven or so miles) were taken
many years ago (1928) and of
course years have made great
changes, yet it will give you an
idea of our trees, especially the
longleaf pines.
“I have a number of feeders and
bird baths in my yard. During the
winter months I buy on the ave
rage of 10 pounds of feed a week
for the scamps. This summer the
mockingbirds nested in my rose
bush and a pair of Carolina Wbens
raised a family of four in an old
tin can just inside my garage. I
happened to be present when the
four babies left their nest the first
time. Quite a sight.
“I must tell you that in August
of 1951 I spent six memorable
days in England. Will never for
get the all-day tour from London
through your charming country
side to Stratford on Avon. On that
trip I saw birds, but the guide,
well versed in history, was unable
llo tell me their names, and that
goes for the trees and flowers, too
I felt then that ,a guide should
have a little' knowledge of the
flora of the land as well as of its
history. You have a wonderful
land, a storehouse of treasures
that are both the work of nature
and the work ■ of man. Many of
those .treasures I saw, many I
missed, but hope, some day, to go
back to the charm and wealth of
yoi’r British scenes.
“Before I end this long letter
the thought keeps coming to my
mind and it has puzzled me, how
you ever got the name of the
Southern Pines Bird Club. How
did you?”
