H BIRD f^UB NOTES
George Manning1 read an article on
the Cuckoo at Saturday's Bird Club
meeting. Birds of the Cuckoo family
are long-tailed; mostly arboreal,
but sometimes terrestial and groundscratching.
The toes are armqgvd
In pairs, two pointing forward and
two backward. There are eight to
ten feathers in the taO.
The young are hatched naked. The
nest is of very rude construction, the
eggs are extremely variable as to
coloration and number and are usually
deposited at interpals so that eggs
and young are ofUn found in the
nest at the same time. .
As a rule the Cuckoos are birds
of dull plumage, * more or lees plain
_. i- m_ig — —» in, — ,AA1
graywi Drown or partly rufous coloration
prevailing. Both the yellowbilled
and black Wiled species are
known as the "Rain Crow" because
«f the belief—especially among farmers—that
their gutteral cry predicts
rain. His preferred menu of tent
caterpillars, of which he destroys
great numbers, places him in the
category of highly useful bulls.
After the program a hike to the
country tfas taken.
