By OLGA BURNS It sounds like a contradic tion in terms, nonetheless a black snowbird is the kind we are most likely to get a good look at this winter. There will be white ones around, of course, but they will tend to stay in the colder parts of the country and con fine themselves pretty much to the fields and woods. The black variety, on the other hand, is quite likely to hop up to your kitchen door for a handout. He isn't actually black. His other commonest name is the slate-colored junco. But there is so much less white on him than on the snow bunting, and his upper and forward parts are so dark, that one might as well call him black in compar ison. He is quite a traveler. Many of them nest as far north as central Alaska or the barrens of northern Canada. They like the cold, so long as it isn't in tense, and so their migration is generally delayed beyond that of many other birds. Where it ends is where the climate seems most suitable. In severe winters they go as far south as Florida. The snow bunting, howev er, is a finch of another color in more ways than one. It has to be extremely cold for him to come so far south. Only rarely does he fly farther down the continent than the snowline. Occasionally he, too, will enter a barnyard or come near a kitchen door, but usually he avoids dwellings and sticks to the open fields and wooded edges. Food Available The reason is that food isn't much of a problem in those areas. No matter how heavy the snowfall, the winds usual ly blow away enough of the snow to reveal the tops of dried 'golden rod and other Chest X-Ray Clinic Starts Another Year The chest x-ray clinic at Sacred Tleart hospital will start another year of service to Jackson county residents this week. The clinic will be open Wednesday evening, Jan. 7, from 7 to 9 p.m., and Thursday, Jan. 8, from 2 to 5 p.m. Since the clinic opened sev eral' years ago the clinic has been open every Thursday af ternoon and the first Wednes day evening of each month. This schedule will continue. No appointments are neces sary. Children under 15 years of age are not x-rayed unless they com,e with special re quest from the child's phy sician. The clinic is sponsored by the Jackson County Tubercu losis and Health association and clerical help is provided by volunteers from the Prov idence Guild of the Sacred Heart hospital. X-ray equipment was pur chased with funds from the sale of Christmas Seals. Detection of tuberculosis is the main purpose of the chest x-rays. However, the films are read for cancer, heart, and other chest conditions. BURGLARY TOUGH Yuba City, Calif . - (LTD - A would-be burglar who at first didn't succeed doesn't plan to try and try again. He left a note by an unopened safe in the office of Yuba City attor ney James Changaris, saying: "I give up. I'll never be a successful burglar.' stalks. That means food to the snowbird and he perches there, pecking at the -seeds until it is time to hop to an other bush. The snow buntings are said to appear then and that the buntings arrive with it or just before. At any rate, I have sometimes noticed that when the mercury takes an other tumble in sub-zero weather, the snowbirds around a day or so earlier had gone.
