Title:
Mockingbird
Linen unused

Description:
Mimus Polyglottos. Immortalized in music and literature, the lilting song of the Mockingbird has long been one of the rare delights of nature. The charm and variety of his song is surpassed by few other birds. True to his name, he delights in mimicking other birds and has even been known to mimic musical instruments. The world is his, and he makes himself at home equally in the small backyard or the open meadowland. One lone Mockingbird can lift his voice in song in the soft summer moonlight, and him. The nest is small and loosely made of twigs, usually located in shrubs or low trees.

Woodcock
Linen PM 1955 Jan-15

Description:
Philohela minor. The warmly hued little Woodcock has long been a great favorite among our game birds. His range covers estern North America and he is most frequently found in damp coverts or open upland woods. He nest on the ground ? but it takes a keen observer to locate it so well does it merge with the natural Cover. The Woodcock is particularly found of angleworms and his southward flight is largely governed by frosts which make this staple food no longer available. The whistling flight is swift but rarely of a prolonged nature. During the mating season, the male Woodcock emits a repeated nasal ?peent? - spirals up swiftly in short courting flights and descends again to strut proudly around the hen.

English Sparrow

Title:
English Sparrow
Linen unused

Description:
The enthusiasm with which this bird, the house sparrow of Europe and Asia, has been spread all over the world, despite many warnings about its habits, is difficult to understand. From 1850 to 1870 it was introduced in many places in the United States, Like the starling, it is a prolific, aggressive bird. Its worst fault is that it usurps for its nest holes, cavities and bird boxes that would otherwise be available to more attractive native birds. However, now they are here, we have no choice but to accept them as an integral part of our avian fauna. Any bird that can increase from a few thousand to millions, and spread over a continent in just a few years, clearly enjoys a wide margin of safety between its rate of reproduction and its rate of mortality. It is folly to think that bounties or any other artificial controls can be more than temporarily effective. The moment a local English sparrow or starling population is reduced below a region's carrying capacity for the species, it rapidly builds up again. In recent years, the decline of the horse has materially reduced the English sparrow carrying capacity of both city and country areas. Scientific name: Passer domesticus. Length: 6? inches. Range: Originally Now the temperate zones of every continent in the world.

Killdeer

Title:
Killdeer
Linen unused

Description:
This plover derives its name from its oftrepeated note of kildee, kildee, dee,dee. It is a widely distributed bird and is generally known even by those who are not students of bird life. It not only frequents the shores of rivers and lakes, but is even more commonly found in pastures and cultivated areas where it usually occurs in small flocks. It may often be seen wheeling gracefully through the air, or again running along sandy beaches or mud-flats, as well as in fields and orchards. Here it picks up a great variety of insects and larvae of which its fare principally consists. Many of these are very injurious to agriculture and the killdeer is therefore one of our most useful birds. The killdeer consumes little time building a nest, but usually lines a shallow cavity on the ground with small pebbles. Four eggs are generally laid. These are creamy white, spotted with chocolate brown. Few examples of bird behavior are more stricking than the efforts of the killdeer to lead intruders away form the nest. On such occasions its piteous cries and fluttering form are very appealing. Scientific name: Chardrius Vociferus. Length: 10? inches. Range: Throughout most of North and South America.
