Is That So?
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.
