| Shell-Hole? It May Be a Quail Just Taking a Short Snooze

Tracks in Snow-Filled Woods Reveal Number of "Things; at Least, There’s Plenty Afoot.

By JOE COLLIER IF YOU THINK you can keep your feet dry and aren't afraid of Poison jvy, you might be able to find some very interesting things these days in the snow-filled woods. - At least, that’s the tip of C. R. Gutermuth of the State Conserva- « tion Department, who is probably the greatest one-man eye-witness

3 sun things the department has. - For instance, if you should en- |-

counter, a shell-hole in the soft snow, it may have been made this way. When a quail, during the day, is wandering about in search of food, it helps a lot if he stays

. on top (the snow. The vision is

better and the going easier. However, if a quail finds himself sinking into the snow, and if he’s kind of tired anyway, he’s very apt to walk right down into it until he is completely covered. ~-Then he will fluff out a little cubbyhole and settle down for a sleep. You won't be able to see him if you peer down the mouth of the slanting tunnel he has made, but if you get over him you Will notice: a breathing hole extending from the snow surface to the cave. You will be able to see him through that. And if he knows you're there, he will leave the vicinity immediately. Depending on the degree Of emergency he believes to exist, he will run back out the tunnel and disappear, or he will explode out of the cave with his wings and be gone in a snow screen. ”n 2 = + ‘ALTHOUGH THOSE CAVES are warm, quail never spend the hight in them. They gather in - coveys and huddle close to each other with their heads out and their tails together, forming a wheel. Thus, they have a sentry at every compass point direction, and there is no traffic problem if

: they are set upon.

They squeeze together so hard that their wings are crowded upward and, since their body temperature is around 150 degrees, they keep pretty warm. . You can tell where a covey has spent the night because the snow

is always melted just a little in.

the form of a cartwheel without a rim. : You ean reconstruct some of the wildlife tragedies, too, from tracks in the snow. Mr. Gutermuth recalls coming across the tracks of a rabbit once. The rabbit was ambling along and then became frightened. There were no other snow tracks to indicate at what he was frightened, but he scampered along pretty Hvely and all of a sudden turned into a wide circle which narrowed down to a spiral. Still there were

no other tracks until the very

center of the spiral. There were the snow marks of two wing tips and a tail, and the rabbit tracks ended. A hawk or an owl got him. Mr. Gutermuth suggests also, that one might keep his eyes open for evidence of the natural winter

" sport of the crows—namely driv-

. other birds. You

ing great horned owls nuts. ” s ” THE GREAT HORNED owl will eat a crow with great relish and the crows know it. In the summer they have a hard time spotting the owls during the day, even though the owls are asleep. There is foliage on the trees. But in the winter, the owls must roost in bare branches, and sleep, and the crows spot them pretty easily. A_crow spotting a slum-

" bering owl sets. up a great’ holler

and finally rounds up maybe 15 or 20 other crows and together they attack the owl. ' They fly at him and peck him and take advantage of the fact that he can’t see well and would rather sleep anyway. If there are enough crows and they are vindictive enough, the owl will rouse himself. They act as a sort of an alarm clock to him. And if they persist, as much as Je despises to fly in the day time, the owl will take wing and fly until the crows are tired of heckling and then resume his interrupted sleep. That night he'll try to find the crows and put the bite on them. ¢ You will be able, Mr. Gutermuth says, to see cardinals and blue jays and robins and many can spot wild ducks, and come across the tunnels that field mice build to get

from where they are to where they feel they must go. But you can’t very well identify poison ivy. The leaves are gone. and poison ivy is no less poisonous in the winter than in summer. In other and more stirring words: | : Watch out for it.
