Blackbirds Are Not Black

If you were told that a blackbird is not a black bird you would wonder what it meant. The blackbird is not a black bird when it is quite close to you. As it flies overhead and as it perches on a tree it is as black as a crow. It is like the crow in so many ways that it is called the crow blackbird. It is as black as the crow and it also has the other colors of the crow, the blue, green and violet, only it has them more so than the crow. These colors are seen as the bird walks proudly over the lawn near at hand, and as it turns and the sun shines on it it is so hard to tell just what color you see the most of that you soon say that you are willing to call it by the name given to it so long ago, just plain blackbird. Because of these colors the names purple bronze and rusty grackle are given to the blackbirds that are found in different parts of our country. They are about a foot long, and u queer thing about them is that they have yellow eyes. The mother birds are not so shiny as

their mates.

Blackbirds spend the winter in the southern part of this country, and are among the earliest birds to return. They are always back early in March and sometimes a few come in February. Don’t be surprised if you see one any time during the winter as you may see a robin. Early spring finds them coming back ami scattering over the country usually in little colonies where evergreen trees are to be found. They will and often do, build in ether trees but they seem to like pines, spruces and other evergreen trees, po-sibly because their nests can be hidden from -ight more easily in these. The nest is rather large and made of sticks and grasses, plastered with some mud and lined with fine grass. These are placed high up in the trees and often several are in one tree. The eggs are not as often seen as robins ■gas because the nests are so high up. They are much like the eggs of other birds of the blackbird family, bluish with the black and brown scrawls and speckles. The eggs vary so much n color and markings that we do not always want to think they are all blackbirds’ eggs. The old birds stay pretty close at home and work hard when the young ones must be looked after, for they are good parents. The young are fed nothing but insect food and this is the time when the birds are about as useful as any we have. They walk over the lawns of our yards or of parks or in the grassy fields near their ne-ting places. They destroy cutworms, beetles, grubs of beetles, grasshoppers, earthworms and caterpillars. They are seen following the plows even more than

crows are.

They and crows are accused of doing the same kind of harm, and again ' they are alike in that they have their

Mr. and Mrs. Manford Pitts and! friends who are ready to say that the aon of near Browns Valley were guest 1 good they do fur exceed.: the harm

After the young can care for themselves, blackbirds begin to gather in flocks and go to the fields to forage during the day, returning to the roosts at night. You may know one of these roosts for they do not always go to the country far from houses. Often they come to the trees along city and village streets or in parks. Then again complaints are heard. They are not shy and do not know that they are disliked by those people in whose trees they make their nightly sleeping places during the time between nesting and migrating. They are noisy and their song is something of a joke. You don’t want to call it a song hut it takes its place

among the .-ouml- of the <,uUf. that make up the whole. Sew it to a squeak and some call “cracked wheezy whistli ." You hear it yourself to really know it is like. Watch for the tloc fly over. They have often tloi er the city in early .-prinR am summer in long orderly flocks procession, and keepinq; up tla ing as they fly. They alight on the tree? whet will spend the night and (hath call. Sometimes a few rah blackbirds and cowbird will b them. They come to the -ame pla roost, night after night and u ter year if not disturbed, until night they are gone and yoa they are on their way to the!
