BIRD CLUB
The Bird Club met on Thursday
morning- of last week when Howard
Pope Murphrey read an article on the
Golden Winged Warbler.
"Two large yellow wing bars account
for the name given to this bird.
Its crown is also yellow but its throat
and ear patches are Mack. The rest
of its plumage is gr™V and white.
The female bird has less black than
her mate. Leaves, rbotlets, strips of
bark and grasses are used in building
its nest which is placed on the ground
in some moist place and among a
. clump of weeds. Its eggs, white with
brown specks, are laid in late May
or early June."
Ice cream cones were served members
during the social period.
At this week's Bind Club meeting
Charles Melton read an article on the
varied Thrush or Alaska Bobin. This
bird dwells in the spruce forests at
the Psciiic coaaL It is a beautiful
bird with underparts of rusty brown.
* The black bands crossing on the
throat resemble a necklace. Its song
has been described as "most unique
and mysterious and may be heard
for a great distance, being very loud
. and penetrating."
"The varied thrush is fond of mast
and holly berries. It also consumes
quantities of insects. The nest is
placed in low bushes and small trees
on or near the hanks of a stream.
It is bulky and made of grass, a few
rootlets and moss. Four pals, greanish-blue
eggs speckled with brown
are laid."
