Friday, Oct. 3 I want to go back and record the fact that yesterday for the first time this season I saw cedar waxwings on our place beginning to eat the mountain ash berries. These birds are handsome, but modestly attired. They wear crests and their gray and brown color is softly modulated with just a touch of red on the wings and yellow on the tail. They travel in flocks and are fond of all kinds of berries and fruit, as well as catching many insects in the air. On our place, beside the mountain ash they will be eating cotoneaster and fire thorne berries plus what few there are on the hawthorae trees this year. They will probably have some competition from the robins and I hope from, bluebirds, but I don't think they come in here as much since the community is more built up. Sunday, Oct. 5. Today and yesterday I made trips to Klamath Falls and back. It is pretty and pleasant going over the Green Springs at this time of year I fait just a little frustrated, though. because on neither trip did I have time to look around for birds at all, as I always like to do in the Klamath basin. On my return today we took a little family picnic at TouVelle park. It was warm and pleasant there, but there were few people besides us to enjoy the gorgeous sunset. Monday, Oct. 6. ' J. H. picked me up and we decided not to go to the hills where somebody might accidentally shoot at us in spite of the fact that we don't either of .us have horns yet. So we checked the ponds and other areas not too far from town.'1 As might be expected from a close-to-town trip we recorded the greatest number of species we ever did on a four hour trip, 55 different kinds of birds. We only found five different kinds of ducks, but with three kinds of grebes, two varieties of heron and six species of smaller shore birds the waterfowl really did pretty well by us. One bird, the dunlin, formerly called red-backed sand piper, we had never seen in Jackson County before. It was at one of the Hoover lakes. Another group of birds we did well on was the sparrows. We saw seven different kinds. The fox sparrow was a first for the valley floor this season. It was perched on the top of a bush singing just as if it was spring in the mountains. Not counted among the 55 were . three species that I found hot much later on the home place, rufous sided towhee, white breasted nuthatch and cedar waxwing. Most of the birds we saw were migrants or winter residents. We saw no swallows and the only summer-type warblers we saw was one Nashville. We saw lots of Audu bon's warblers, gray at this season except for their bright yellow rump patches, but some of them always winter here. We have been having summer weather but the birds go by the season, not the weather. They have calendars built into them. Wednesday, Oct. 8. Today I saw a savannah sparrow on the lawn at home. This open country bird shows up here every so often. There are still enough fields around us to attract them. ' I decided to get ready for Columbus Day, this year and got out my biography entitled "Admiral of the Ocean Sea". I found that it was the birds on their fall migration through the Caribbean Sea that led him to his first landfall on San Salvador. . " Thursday, October 9. - ' "'. - i Not long ago our neighbors to the east burned over their property. At first I was afraid this might destroy a lot of feed and cover for the birds. To my surprise, though, the fire had hardly cooled down before the pheasants, cjuail and other birds proceeded to feed in that area as much as they ever did before. I wondered at first if they might be finding cooked grasshoppers, but whatever they found they have kept on feeding there. As further testimony to their presence a white cat came and sat among the ashes more than once. , I was sorry to see by the picture in the evening paper that some one had shot a Swainson's hawk. I don't blame them if they actually saw it taking . their chickens, but otherwise it is a great shame to destroy these fine and pre dominantly useful birds. People often ask me whether I object to hunting birds. I don't at all if it is done In a sports manlike manner. The thing that I deplore the most is the The indiscriminate shooting of hawks, eagles and owls. I admire these birds very much and many of them are be-, coming all too scarce. Even the ones that kill other birds perform a useful, service in thinning out the weak and aickly ones. I think none should be killed unless they are deiinitely known to be harming some human interest. T.M. Learn how to rake up your Fall bills into one bundle...
