Mashburit BIRD NOTES Charles Fitzgerald told members of the Bird Club what he had discovered in studying about the Towhee recently, at the weekly meeting of this group, held on Saturday. Charles described the bird as small in sice and black, orange and white in color. .He utters a peculiar cry of protest if molested by someone or something that sounds like w-r-ruik. He found it to be an active bird, somewhat similar m size and appearance to the Baltimore Oriole, but distinctly a ground dweller with a characteristic habit of scratching in the leaves. He makes his nest by scratching a hole in the ground under a bush or in a thick tuft of grass and builds it so cleverly that it is almost impossible for a hunter to discover it. As a songster, the Towhee is a strung success. Few birds have more musical notes, when he wishes to sing. It is surprising how many insects and grubs they eat, feeding as they do two or three times every minute. Thus Charles found them to be very valuable as a destroyer of iiHwrfi.
