Deceniber. 29, Katherine Kendal daugliter. of the Leon B. Keindalls, saw, the bird in their yard at 440 EIder lane, for the first tine,, and every day, but one siuîce, some metuber of ,the fauiY Ihas wratched ',it (the pronoun will have to. serve. because nio.ore ktwswhether the visitor is a lady or a gentleman),return to feed. Feeda-on Appleaà The attraction is not a standard. ieediilk>tray but apoor grade, of old apples -left on an apple tree in the Kendall' yard this faîl. Somne surmise that the resorter. is a man, and a topr at that. AIl sorts of delicacies have :been offered-nice fresh aàpples, suet, grainsand crumbs-but lie re- fuses-e.verythiurg lin- favor of the ap- plejack. I-lis feeding hours are early mhorning, .occasionally noon, and sometinies late afternoon. Trying for Picture David and Robert, Kendal are as much intercsted ini the bird as thé other menibers of the farnily, and DJavidi is mnaking every effort to phloto- graph it. If successful we %vill print the picture, possibly ini the sÔciety colunin under the caption - "Dis- tinguished Trai cicr Comnes ho North Shore." Ornihhologists consulted about the phenomena say mnocking birds were reporhed hiere ini 1928, 1929, and 1933,; during january and February, but neyer bef ore, ho their knowledge, bas one been seen hiere. in Decemiber. The back of a mocking bird is gray, underneath grayisb white, and - all * and wings blackc marked with white. It resembles the cat bird, and is re- Iated to the brown thrasher. Because of its white markings iý mighit be taken for a junco when it flies, except. that it is inuch larger. The Kendalls urge north shore p)eo-, * pie to feied the birds ini the winter, particularly wvhen 1their natural food 'is COered by snoW -or frozen inl by- ice. Bread crumbs will attract oîîly sparrows and sharlingsl, but suet and grain may 7bring juncos, woodp)eckers, * bine jays and cardinals, aIl of theni "4wintering on the north shore." iroin 2 to 5 ~p. ni.
