but , . . can anyone - possibly hnd fault

we had summer last month. Mind you, we
aren't vouching for Sunday, just calling at
tention to Saturday. j j
Cas of th Hysterical Hummingbird I
we've been! awakened several mornings at
dawn by an odd bird noise and upon in
vestigation found it to be a hummingbird
sitting on the. light wire in what appeared to
be a hysterical condition. We can't figure it
out,i but every time it, happened a squirrel
has been poised on the eave just above the
bird. -. r
Tune in .f. . next week, youll never find
out if the squirrel is the villian of a drama,
or just an innocent bystander whose life has
been linked io players in an Avian tragedy.
Mora bird lore ... this jioon while enjoy
ing one of the rare meals we've had cut oi
doors this season, we -heard a loud tap, tap
tapping. It, was a blue jay, one of the less
desirable immigrants from California, putting
his winter supply, of food away in our gar
den, He would pick a filbert from the tree,
put it down1 and with his bill literally drive it
into the ground. . This- ve consider going a
bit too far wth cur nut crop, for we've never
gotten more than a few as our share. What
with squirrels, bluebirds and other sweet in
nocents, we have to buy cir nuts every year.
- Throw back . . . Those Zenaites who are
stuck in Polk county's mud we hope,. have
gotten satisfaction , Come a nice rain and we
always get it out our; way, too, only our's
isn't 60 feet wide like their! road But mud
or no mud, gravel or no gravel, we'll still
take rural life . . . ' Maxine Buren.
