Flycatcher of All
You can purchase a "fly
catcher" at any hardware or
5-and-10-cent store. There is
another effective fly-catcher,
commonly known as 'fly
paper," or one can make use
of another device to accomp
lish the same purpose. This
is called a fly-swatter.
But the best flycatcher of
all is a bird. He's so good at
it that he is aptly named Fly
catcher. He works at the job
all the time.
' About the largest of the en
tire family is the so-called
"crested flycatcher," about
the size of a robin or a mock
ing bird but with a brownish
colored body and yellowish
white breast. Also, this fly
catcher has a rather long bill
and the male wears a perky
tuft of feathers in the form
of a crest on the top of his
head.
Peculiar Call
Even though you may not
recognize the bird by sight
you have probably heard him
and been somewhat surprised
by the peculiar call he utters.
When you do hear him you
might -. associate the sound
with a radio or the mysterious
'beeps" from an earth orbit
ing satellite, rather than a call
coming from a bird.
Everyone is familiar with
the measured beep-beep-beep
of a time signal sent out each
day from time stations. The
cry of the flycatcher is exact
ly the same and for this rea
son the flycatcher has been
called the "time-signal-bird."
During the mating season
the call sometimes becomes a
little more musical, but even
then the bird frequently
drops into the measured .ca
dence of a mechanical time
beat. All the flycatchers are
naturally quarrelsome. They
do not get along too well with
other birds and not too well
with one another. As a con
sequence only a single pair
will ever be found (in -one
locality.
Usually . they build their
nests in abandoned woodpeck
er holes where they lay from
four to six eggs, each egg
generously marked with
brown splashes. The birds de
pend solely on insects for
food, catching most of them
while on the wing.
Peculiarities
Most birds, like all the rest
of us, have many peculiarities
but the flycatchers have some
habits that are downright fan
tastic, defying even common
sense. This bird goes all out
in bizarre "furnishings" for its
nest by installing a part of
the standard equip ment a
piece of snake-skin. Never
does this skin seem to be a
part of the nest itself. The
skin, or in the absence of a
suitable skin a piece of cello
phane, is hung on the wall or
draped over the edge of the
nest opening. No one has ever
advanced a reasonable ex
planation for this universal
practice, unless it is intended
to frighten away intruders.
Thsre may be some less
obvious r e a s on for this
strange behavior. The heathen
witch - doctor always uses
snake skins as a "charm or as
a strengthening agent" for
some particular kind of
"medicine." Could this insect
eating bird we call the fly
catcher, also have some super-
Swiss Forester
To Attend Program
Corvallis-Dr. Fritz Fischer,
director of the Swiss Forest
Research Institute at Zurich,
Switzerland, will be the 1960
visiting lecturer at the Ore
gon State college school of
forestry during April and
May. The program is under
the auspices of the Louis W.
and Maude Hill Family
Foundation.
During his stay on the
campus, Dr. Fischer will con
duct special graduate and
staff seminars on European
forestry, Swiss watershed pro
tection practices, forest educa
tion, forest research and log
ging methods used in the
mountainous terrain of his
country. He will also deliver
a series of public lectures.
Under the program initiat
ed in 1955. foresters of inter
national-renown are brought
to the Oregon State school of
forestry to keep students and
staff abreast of new develop
ments in the field of forest
land management.
Previous lecturers have in
cluded D. S. Jeffers, dean
emeritus of forestry, Univer
sity of Idaho; Thorsten
Streyffert, rector of the Swed
ish Royal College of Forestry,
and Leo Isaac, American for
est researcher.
stitious ideas? It would seem
so,1 for the practice of incor
porating a piece of the skin
of a reptile in or near the nest
cavity is a habit practiced by
all the flycatchers.
