W ATKINS (Register and Tribunt Syndicate ',963) Poor Baby Heron-He Muit Rett on Rough Bed oi Sticki Uneasy must set the head that rests on a platform of slicks. To the baby heron, there is no soft bed of feath ers; the heron parents never feather their nests. Neither do they waste much time or ma terial in the construction of what will be the birthplace of their offspring. What they construct can hardly be called a nest; it's more like a hodge-podge col lection of sticks, usually so carelessly put together that, viewed from the ground, the blue sky shows through, as well as the eggs or the young birds. There may be advantages to such a flimsy affair. Perhaps it serves to acquaint the very young with the painful fact that life will be no bed of roses or every easy. Reposing, when naked and supposedly tender, on a rough assortment of sticks may serve to toughen the young birds. The updraught from the swampy land below cools their bodies, while a hot sun beats down from above. Little won der the young leave the nest so early, avoiding the dlscom Local Teacher To Attend Institute A Medford instructor, Wil liam H. Anderson of the Mc Loughlin Junior High school faculty, is one of 31 teachers from Idaho and 17 other states who will attend the National Science Foundation summer institute in physical science at Idaho Slate college, Dr. John Hilzman, institute director, has announced. Designed for secondary teachers of science and mathe matics, the NSF financed in stitute will meet from June 10 to Aug. 9. Each participant will receive a grant to cover his expenses. Dr. Hilzman said the nine- credit institute will include two courses in each of four areas, chemistry, geology, mathematics and physics. In addition to the Institute faculty, there will be several visiting lecturers, including Dr. Erling Dorf, professor of geology and curator of paleo botany at Princeton university. fort of the roughness, to clam ber through the branches of their tree like monkeys, their legs groping and grasping. Awkward they seem, these homely babies, but exceeding ly active. Crawls Back In When the young legs tire and featherless wings have beat themselves raw and sore from contact with tree branches, the young heron irnwls back into the stick-nest to rest and clamor for food. Usually there are several heron nests in a single tree, often as many as a dozen. Fre quently, too, the youngsters from several nests will hatch and develop at the same time all climbing and awkwardly developing their stringy mus cles, preparing for that happy time when they can fly. Often, too, the Iree that holds the nests will be small, not over IS or 20 feet high. At such times, the observer can see a d"zen or more of the ungainly birds, all partly naked, clambering along the branches like a tree full of monkeys. Discovering a heron rook ery and examining It, even casually, the student of bird behavior is often amazed at the parent heron's cleverness in tree selection and nesting location. The wise heron mother selects a tree that is located on an island, in the middle of a pond. Location Protects With uncanny judgment, the parent bird will build only where a wide cushion of water, or an area of marshy ground, will protect the nest from predators, either human or animal. In the trees of this water surrounded area there may be over 100 heron nests, built by as many as four or five hun dred individual birds, includ ing herons of several varieties. Like the social insects-ants, bees and termites-the birds of the heron clan enjoy each other's company and live to gether in populous colonies. When mother or father heron returns to the nest-tree with a frog, fish or even a small snake, every youngster hurries to its own nest to be fed. At such times, the human observer must marvel at the blindness of mother-love, for a heron baby is a grotesque little thing, as homely and as messy as an unmade bed. Past Masters Are Honored at Dinner There were 15 past mas ters present for the Past Mas ters night observances at Cen tral Point lodge 135 recently. More than 60 lodge members attended the dinner and pro gram. Past Master Harold Head gave a short history of the lodge, and the Rev. D. . Mil lard gave a reading, dedicat ed to the lodge apron.
