SARDINE CREEK Spl.)-Thl
canyon Is a. sort of paradise for the
amateur naturalist who Is more In
terested In the esthetic thrill of find
ing wild flowers of delicate beauty
or in the curious behavior of multi
tudinous Insects than In their scien
tific names and classifications.
There Is scarcely a dull moment In
the canyon for anyone interested in
the phenomena of Nature. If In addi
tion to an insatiable curiosity one
has a penchant toward philosophis
ing, many parallels can be drawn be
tween the animal and the human
worlds.
Quails talcing care of a covey of
young ones, for example, remind you
for all the world of nervous and ex
tremely fastidious parents who are
constantly in alarm lest something
dreadful happen to their first born.
At the first approach of danger
Mama and Papa Quail will emit ex
cited, staccato gurgles which in their
language is a command to the babies
to scram. And how quickly and obed
iently the little feathered creatures
get going. There is no stopping to
argue the point.
Then, if the danger still ap
proaches. Papa Quail will very bravely
come out into the open, where there
Is no loubt that he can be ' seen.
That's lust a stall to divert atten
tion until Mama supervises the hid
ing of the babies. Papa will take wing
In tl me to save h 1 msclf and then
Mama will repeat her husband's trick.
By that time the little ones are &r fcly
concealed under leaves or underbrush
where nothing less than the sensi
tive nose of a bird dog can find
them.
If you happen to be the danger
that approaches and you stop In your
tracks in time. Papa and Mama will
stand their ground until the babes
are concealed. Then, likely as not,
they will take up a position on a
fallen log where they can watch you
and the little ones at the same time.
Mama Quail will be content to stand
as motionless and as quiet as a stat
ue, letting well enough alone, but
Papa Quo 11, bumptious like moat
fathers, wil have to Issue occasional
warnings and stick his head out now
and again to obey the command to
remain still. If you watch closely
enough you'll observe Mama giving
Papa a disdainful look that says elo
quently: "Oh, pipe down and quit
trying to make a noise like a father.
Do you want to give away their hid
ing place?"
It ta the Insect world that provides
most of the marvels, especially the
marvel of what the tiny creatures do
with all the food they eat.
The voracious yellow Jacket will eat
anything from a growing apple to a
dead zebra. Yellow Jackets will strip
a tree of its fruit In Jig time and In
a few hours they will reduce a slain
rattle snake to a glistening skeleton.
They eat everything but the bones,
Including the venom. That Is why
there Is a saying here that when you
kill a rattle snake you should bury at
least the head, for after It has con
sumed the poison the Insect can In
ject It with its stinger and the effect
Is the same as though you were bit
ten by Mr. Rattler himself. Tour cor
respondent does not vouch for the
scientific authenticity of that asser
tion; he merely repeats what la a
aying here.
The yellow Jacket Is a fierce and
fearless fighter. Tou may see him at
tack a locus S, four times his size. He
stings the locust Into paralysis and
then, to be rid of the annoylngly
weaving legs, he will clip them off.
one after the other, with his scissors
like mandibles. After that the yellow
Jacket proceeds leisurely to cut the
locust into small pieces that can be
devoured conveniently. He will leave
only the Inedible wings and legs.
For all Its ferocity the yellow jacket
Is not always victorious. Your corres
pondent recently saw a death strug
gle between a yellow Jacket and a
black bee. Each clutched the other
In a battle to the finish and over and
over they rolled, each trying desper
ately to survive. Finally the black bee
took flight, triumphantly, a dead
yellow Jacket In its clutches.
A pool or water hole is always a
thrilling showcase for the nature
student. If you will sit quietly by the
water's edge for a few minutes, pres
ently you will see all manner of tiny
life unfold drama after drama on a
miniature stage. No doubt you will
be surprised to realize that so many
different kinds of things can thrive
In so small an area and yet you
haven't seen the mlscroscoplc life at
all I
On the surface of the water you
will see the skippers, those little In
sect with the ridiculously long legs
that skim over the pool as though
they were on skates. They look harm
less enough, those skippers, but let
a yellow Jacket come to the water's
edge for a drink and In a trice they
will pounce upon him, drag him Into
the water and hold him submerged
until he Is drowned. Then the skip
pers will have a meal.
Yes, life is real and very earnest In
