Description:
British Birds and Their Eggs Series II, 9399
The Cuckoo, which is one of the most interesting of our birds, arrives in April and leaves in August, though the young ones linger on till the middle of September. It is a handsome bird, about the size of the sparrow hawk. Besides its peculiar cry, which is the herald of spring, the Cuckoo is remarkable on account of its building no nest for itself, but leaving the rearing of its young to other birds. It lays its egg on the ground, and then carries it in its beak and places it in the nest of the meadow pipit, hedge sparrow, pied wagtail, wren, finch, or any other small bird. The eggs are laid at intervals of about a week, and very much in colour, and no two eggs are placed in the same nest.

National Wildlife Federation Songbird Postcard Series 501-5 CHICKADEE (Penthestes atricapillus) When winter's snows cover the ground, the spirited, friendly little Chickadee is a welcome visitor. The small, chunky fellow likes nothing better than to find some sunflower seeds or suet cups in the feeding station or hung on a tree branch. He will play around in the trees all day--happily singing away while he carries on a search for tree insects and seeds. He is found generally throughout eastern North America. Occasionally, he makes his nest in an old Woodpecker hole.

Redstart With Wings Half-Spread

Description:
National Wildlife Federation Songbird Postcard Series 501-11 REDSTART (Setophaga ruticilla) Of all the warblers, the handsome Redstart is perhaps the most colorful and active. He is extremely restless and constantly hopping from branch to branch in a never-ending search for food. The warblers do a tremendous amount of good in the destruction of insects and it almost seems as though the Redstart was anxious to do the most. They especially like the thick shrubbery and low hanging branches and have little or no fear of humanity. So intent are they in their search for food that they will dart with precision and speed at an insect even though a person is standing directly beside the spot. They are found from Canada through the western states to the Carolinas.

Mourning Dove
Chrome PM 1953 Nov-25
Description:
National Wildlife Federation Wildlife Postcard Series. Mourning Dove (Zenaidura carolinensis). Unlike his close relative the Passenger Pigeon, the Mourning dove is still present in generous numbers. Slender graceful and spirit of flight, he is noted for his so-called song which really is a long, low, mournful call. He is aptly named, for that call surely suggests a mood of mixed sadness and gentleness. His range covers much of North America, wintering mainly from southern Oregon to the Carolinas. He is an extremely useful bird feeding largely on weed seeds. He is a migratory bird, and therefor falls under federal control. Many states have laws prohibiting dove-shooting, but in others he is much prized as a game bird.

California Quail
Chrome
Description:
(Lophortyx californica) This elegant quail is far more striking in appearance than the better known "Bobwhite". California quail are among the loveliest and liveliest of our upland game birds, and elusive fellows to find. Living in the humid Pacific coast region, they love the seclusion of the chapparal covered slopes. Here they gather in flocks - usually with one bird staying apart to act as a lookout. Let something disturb the lookout and a low, shrill sound sends the whole flock scurrying away in every direction. Though they can fly easily and well they prefer to seek safety by darting over the ground under the protection of thick brush or chaparral.

Robert S. Scurlock Taylored Turkey Farm BROAD-BREASTED BRONZE TURKEYS WHOLESALE AND RETAIL POULTS, DAY OLD OR STARTED PRESLEY TAYLOR, JR. GAMBRILLS, MARYLAND Telephone: South Shore 4000 FACTS ABOUT TAYLORED TURKEYS SIZE - Hens average about 16 to 18 pounds and toms average about 26 to 28 pounds in 28 weeks. All are true broad-breast bronze. STOCK - The breeding stock found on the Taylored Turkey Farm originated from the finest breeding flocks in the nation. Today we believe we have one of the very best strains available at any price. BREEDING PROGRAM - The Taylored Turkey Farm's breeding program is a large range one. Our breeders are selected for fast maturity, good feathering, sturdy leg strength, and width of breast and length of keel. Our breeders are started in confinement and then moved onto our rich, thick, sod-grass ranges. FARM DESCRIPTION - The Taylored Turkey Farm is located 20 miles south of Baltimore, Maryland, and 22 miles northeast of Washington, D. C. on U. S. Route #301. It is an exclusive turkey hatchery and Broadbreast Bronze breeding farm. The farm is well isolated from other poultry farms. All growing birds are grown in confinement, thus our birds are particularly well suited to confinement production and will not go down in the legs. The Taylored Turkey Farm is one of the cleanest, most sanitary turkey farms you will find anywhere. Come visit us sometime!

He is in too much of a hurry to select a branch and make a solid, substantial nest, but contents himself with a home in a box, bird-house, or even in a disused carriage or the pocket of a coat. From late in April until October this nervous, restless little creature, always expecting trouble, hops and flits throughout our Eastern States, ever bobbing or bowing. Occasionally he pauses long enough to voice his feelings in fidgety, scolding notes, or, much better, to pour forth a sweet, rapid musical trill delivered with such force and abandon that his little body trembles

Feed the Birds in Cold Weather

Description:
To save the birds means to save the farmer's crops. Millions of dollars are lost to agriculture every year through harmful insects. We need the birds to prevent their increase. Birds also destroy seeds of weeds, act as scavengers, and in winter eat the eggs and grubs of insects. In some instances state ornithologists have requested that persons who are kindly disposed towards birds place food in their usual haunts. With their regular supply cut off by the fall of snow, the birds are in great danger of extermination by starvation. A small supply of grain, or even the sweepings from haymows, will do much to relieve the distress of birds during the snowy season. Save your crumbs for them

To Save the Birds Means to Save the Farmer's Crops
Divided Back unused
Description:
Millions of dollars are lost to agriculture every year through harmful insects. We need the birds to prevent their increase. Birds also destroy seeds of weeds, act as scavengers, and in winter eat the eggs and grubs of insects. In some instances state ornithologists have requested that persons who are kindly disposed toward birds place food in their usual haunts. With their regular supply cut off by the fall of snow, the birds are in great danger of extermination by starvation. A small supply of grain, or even the sweepings from haymows, will do much to relieve the distress of birds during the snowy season. Save your crumbs for them

Redpoll (male and female), Pine Siskin
Linen
Description:
No. 30 Redpoll Length 5 1/4 inches The little Redpoll is an irregular winter visitor to the more northerly portions of the United States. Sometimes it comes in flocks when driven southward by unusual cold or lack of food. It closely resembles the Goldfinch in its general habits. The nest is in a low tree or grass tuft, and is of moss and grass lined with hair, feathers, or other soft material. The eggs are from four to six, white, tinged with bluish-green and spotted with reddish-brown. Classification: Order Passeres. Family Fringilidae. Scientific name: Acanthus linaria. Range: Breeds in extreme northern portions of North America, and winters south to northern United States. No. 30a Pine Siskin Length 5 inches Like the Redpoll, the Pine Siskin is one of those widely distributed birds whose movements depend, to a great extent, upon the weather and the food supply. Some years it is absent from much of the region south of its breeding range, again it is abundant. The nest is in coniferous trees, and is made of rootlets and grasses lined with pine needles and hair. The eggs are from three to four, greenish-white and speckled with reddish-brown. Classification: Order Passeres. Family Fringillidae. Scientific name: Spinus pinus. Range: Throughout North America, breeding northward from northern boundary of United States and southward in mountain ranges. Winters throughout United States

Title:
Downy Woodpecker
Linen unused
Description:
Length 6 3/4 inches This is the smallest and most familiar of our Woodpeckers. It is an almost exact copy of the Hairy Woodpecker, only it is much smaller and has black transverse bars on the white outer tail feathers, whereas these tail feathers in the Hairy are white without the bars. The Downey Woodpecker is a general favorite with that ever-increasing number of bird-lovers who find pleasure in feeding the winter birds. In company with the Nuthatches and chickadees he is a visitor that can always be depended on to come to the feeding-shelf or to the suet-container. In addition he does a lot of scouting for food on his own account, and may be heard at all hours of the day industriously tapping as he searches every crevice and cranny in the bark of the trees of lawn or orchard for the grubs and insects which form his main bill of fare. He may often be seen digging larvae out of weed stalks. The note of the Downy can easily be distinguished from that of the Hairy, for it is neither so loud nor so sharp. The nest is usually in a dead tree. From four to six white eggs are laid Classification: Order Pici. Family Picida. Scientific name: Dryobates pubescens. Range: A resident throughout the wooded portions of the United States and Canada

Screech Owl (gray and red phases)
Linen unused
Description:
No. 14 Screech Owl Length 9 1/2 inches In eastern North America the Screech Owl is probably the best known of all the Owls. UNlike most other members of the family, it has come to appreciate the advantages of human neighbors, seeking our dwellings and taking up its abode in barns or other outbuildings. It is particularly fond of old orchard, where it finds a most congenial retreat. Here it secures the small prey which constitutes its food, and the Screech Owl should be regarded as a beneficial bird. "Of 255 stomachs examined only 1 contained poultry; 38, other birds; 91, mice; 11, other mammals; 2, lizards; 4, batrachians;1, fish; 100, insescts;5, spiders; 9, crawfish; 7,miscellaneous; 2, scorpions; 2, earthworms; and 43 were empty." (Fisher.) This species is found in both gray and brown phases of plumage, which have no relation to age, sex or season. The note of the Screech Owl is a whining quaver or tremulus falsetto, which, heard in the quiet dusk of evening, has a strange fascinatinon. This specie builds no nest, but lays its eggs in a hole of a dead tree or a stub, frequently the cavity formerly occupied by the Flicker. From four to six white eggs are laid. Classification: Order Raptores, Family Strigidae. Scientific name: Otus asio asio Range: In its different forms it is found over much of temperate North America from southern British Columbia to Mexico and Florida

Wildlife Post Card Series Subject 3. Restore Protect Conserve America's Wildlife Resourses. Common Tern (Sterna Birundo). The flight of the Common Tern is strong, graceful and erratic. This Tern is found in both the Old and New World, both inland and at seas. In America it breeds from the northern United States and the Canadian provinces down the Altlantic and Gulf Coasts to Texas and in the Bahamas. In winter it ranges from Florida south on the ALtantic side of South America to Patagonia and on the Pacific to Ecuador. It nests preferably on sandy and gravelly places on islands or on shores where it frequently makes little nest except a depression on the sand. The spotted eggs number two or three: both the eggs and the young are difficult to see on the sand. This harmless bird eats small fishs, crustaceans, aquatic worms and inssects

It comes in mid-autumn and may be seen flitting about the outer surface of trees and bushes. Now and then the gold and orange crown of this diminutive king may be seen as he hangs from some terminal twig. The nest is of soft, green mosses and feathers, suspended from twigs in coniferous trees. The eggs are from six to nine, creamy white and thickly speckled with brown. Classification: Order Passeres. Family Sylviida Scientific name: Regullus satrapa. Range: Breeds from northern United States northward into Canada, and in mountains of United States. Winters from Northern States to the Gulf States. No. 48a Ruby-crowned Kinglet Length 4 1/4 inches This species very closely resembles the Golden-crown. The male Ruby-crown, however, has a partially concealed crest of uniform red, and the female is without any crown patch. The nest of the Ruby-crown is very like that of its relative. The eggs are similar, but not so thickly speckled. Classification: Order Passeres. Family: Sylviida. Scientific name: Regulus calendula. Range: Breeds from Northern States northward to Ungava and Alaska, also southward in mountain ranges of United States. Winters from central United States to Gulf of Mexico

Herring Gull (adult and young)
Linen
Description:
No. 1 Herring Gull Length 24 inches This is perhaps the best known of all the Gulls in North America. During the winter it occurs along the coast of the Middle and Southern States in greater numbers than any other Gull. It is common about our rivers and harbors, picking up scraps that are thrown from fish markets, docks and passing vessels. During the early eighties of the last century, Herring Gulls were being killed in large numbers. Through the influence of the Bird Protection Committee of the American Ornithologists’ Union laws were enacted prohibiting this, and later the birds were given special protection by the National Association of Audubon Societies, in their breeding colonies along the coast of New England. They have since increased so greatly that special protection is no longer needed. The nest is of seaweed, moss, and grasses placed usually on the ground, but where the birds have been persecuted they not infrequently build in trees. Two or three grayish, olive-brown eggs are laid, blotched with chocolate markings. Classification: Order Longipennes. Family Laridae Scientific name: Larus argentatus. Range: Throughout the entire Northern Hemisphere. No. 1 in a set of 50 Winter Birds of the Northeastern United States. Published by the National Association of Audubon Societies, 1974 Broadway, New York City. Price per set, in a box, $1.00, post paid

King-Necked Pheasant (male and female)
Linen
Description:
No. 6 Ring-necked Pheasant The native home of this beautiful and useful Pheasant is China. It was successfully introduced into Oregon, Washington and British Columbia many years ago, and has also been released in many portions of the eastern United States. It is now extensively bred on many private and State Game Farms. The Ring-neck, however, has become mixed with the so-called English Pheasant,which has also been introduced into this country, until pure strains are difficult to find. This Pheasant is hardy and thrives in spite of cold weather and deep snow, especially if food is provided. It is regarded by sportsmen as a splendid, active game bird, and, in many districts where it has been released, has come to constitute a great asset to the game-bird resources of the country. In a wild state it nests on the ground beneath cover. Classification: Order: Gallinae. Family: Phasianidae. Scientific name: Phasianus torquatus. Range: China, introduced into Europe, portions of the United States and Canada. No. 6 from set of 50 Winter Birds of the Northeastern United States.

Red-breasted Nuthatch (male and female)
Linen unused
Description:
No. 45 Red-breasted Nuthatch Length 4 1/2 inches This smaller relative of the White - breasted Nuthatch, although closely resembling the latter, has certain distinguishing characteristics which render it easy of identification. Its smaller size is the first noteworthy difference. There are also the black stripe across the face and the reddish-brown of the breast. Careful observers, however, may readily identify this species by its note alone. While the call of the White-breast is a muffled hank hank, that of the Red breast is pitched in a higher key and has an even more muffled, nasal twang. The Red-breasted Nuthatch often comes in scattered companies, while the White-breast is usually more solitary in its habits. It is especially fond of coniferous trees, and often sends down siftings of bark which are dislodged during its search for food. The nest is usually in a hole of a stump or tree, and is composed of grasses and feathers. There are from four to seven white eggs, thickly speckled with brown. Classification: Order Passeres. Family Stittidae. Scientific Name: Sitta canadensis. Range: Breeds from northern United States across the continent northward. Winters south to the Gulf. No. 45 from set of 50 Winter Birds of the Northeastern United States. Published by the National Association of Audubon Societies. 1974 Broadway, New York City.
