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

tral Point lodge 135 recently.
