Shrubbery near pastures or a the margins of woodlands provide "aod, shelter and a proper settini for this delightful warbler. Lat spring and early summer are the times when most of us are likely to see and hear this bird. Prob ably there are more persons w-he will recognize this bird by sigh than there are those who will rec ognize its call, but this is because most amateur naturalists hav< been trained to use their eyes rath er than their ears and because i is easier to print a bird’s picturi than it is to accurately transcribe its voice. The Chestnut-sided Warble measures about 514 inches ii length. This is about the average for warblers that swarm througl our tree tops in early summer. The female is slightly smaller than tht male. The name justly implies that the most distinctive fielc character is the chestnut colora tion on the sides. In spring, th( adults show conspicuous yellow crowns that contrast sharply witl the dark-crowned Bay-breastec Warbler with which this species The emblem recognized in more than A MILLION HOMES As the hallmark of clean heat comfort Williams Bros.

The eggs are about two- I birds of an inch long. | Incubation lasts for ten to eleven I lays and the young are cared for I ly both parents. There is but one | Di'ood a year. j As might be expected, if one I were to judge from where the birds I are found, the food consists large- I ly of insects that feed upon the I foliage of trees and shrubs. These I warblers are known to eat large I quantities of gypsy moths, tent caterpillars, brown-tail moths, plant lice, leaf hoppers and bor ers. They are entitled to the rep- | utation of being one of our best caterpillar destroyers, but they may also be seen making short dashes into the air to capture in sects on the wing. During the nine days the \oung remain in the nest, they arc fed insects almost exclusively. During this peiiod, the parent birds are just too busy to continue being as shy as they seem to be &t other times. The National Wildlife Federa tion is pleased to call your atten tion to one of our most useful birds, the Chestnut-sided Warbler. I —E. Laurence Palmer. , port, MIKTO r— . jns >*”"■ p'"n b».
