We saw a flock of dear little juncos hopping around trying to pick up a bite to eat We carefully put a sprinkling of lovely crackercrumbs out and returned to the house to watch. In a mo ment two sparrows arrived, and in another minute a dozen were dining on our handout We saw no more Juncos until all the crackers were gane.i Another day we saw bluebirds scouting around and offered them some grain. The sparrows moved in again. Apprenticeship . . . It's an ill wind, you know.
