June!

n ie Upper Esopus Fish and Game association has been given $1,000 by the county association for stream improvement in the general vicinity of the clubhouse between Pine Hill and Big Indian.

Disturbed with her flocK of tiny birds she gives a cry, drops her wing as though wounded and lets a predator come near. Meantime the youngsters cleverly hide un­derneath leavte, stones or other available places. The mother flies away. It is interesting to sit tight and watch her come back, make certain danger is gone, then call the chicks together.

* • •Dumb as is a turtle, the female

knows enough to lay her eggs in a hole, where the sun will warm the ground. She covers them and goes away to let nature do the hatch­ing and young shift for them­selves. They know the way to water.

* * *Space is not available ta put

down all the known ways the wild employs in May and June to care for the young. There are also, no doubt, many deceptive methods man does not know about.

* * »Little wonder Spring is so inter­

esting in field and forest.Yours truly.

The Mountaineer

Residents in the Pine Hill - Big Indian ^ction are disturbed by beagles running rabbits at night. The dogs make so much noise many folks cannot sleep. There should be a remedy less severe than shooting thp hounds.

These are the birthdays in the wild. Not only the birds and the bees, but the animal young are arriving or have recently been bom to all manner of creatures.

* * •‘ Bird, animal and insect parents

are hurrying to find food for the young. Man is bom most any month of the year. But May and June are the months for wild creatures.

» * *A deer, a robin or a bee, bom

in October, would have no chance of survival. The deer would die in the winter, the robin would have no strong wings to fly south. The bee would have no honey for the day when flowers are gone.

» . • ♦The homes of the wild creatures

have always interested me. And they do have homes, acquaint­ances, live in the same locality. A rabbit, a chuck, a deer, seen in a field, live there or near. They are not wandering about in a hap­hazard manner. They are going about their business in the vicinity of home, same as you and I.

* • ♦Home building in the wild re­

quires skill, one, at least, unknown to man except in time of war. That is deception. When a man builds a home he make$ it showy. When a bird or an animal con­structs, one of the first «»gineer- ing plans is camouflage.

* • ♦The best engineering skill in the

wild is the well-known plan of the beaver. Books have been written about it. The lowly chuck in a burrow has to know about ventilation, about sanitation, about seeiage, drain, fashioning the

A simple-minded cottontail can hide her young in a nest which man can step over and not notice. Squirrels find dry holes in hollow trees. A vixen harbors her young where there is opportimity to see about.

Coons, porkies, bears find easy homes in mounteiin ledges, places where a man, lost in the wilds, would be glad of refuge. Mink, muskrats, aU the others have homemaking plans, old as the ages, new as the spring of 1957.

» ♦ »With feathered friend^ the most

important skill in home building is deception. Crows, squirrels, snakes, other predators devour eggs and yoimg birds. The nest, the eggs, the young can be pro­tected only by hiding and camou­flage. A robin builds solid. Straw and heavy mud make her nest. An eerie perch would be useless. The farmhouse porch, bam, other buildings provide excellent loca­tions, crows dare not come near.

* * •But in the fOTest there is danger.

A t this seastHi when father and mother crow, with eyes sharper than man knows, search each dawn and much of the day for nests. These must be well hidden. I f molested another must be built in a second attempt to avoid the crow.

• * *An oriole uses an opposite tactic.

On the lace-like end of the far out tw ip of an elm a nest hangs almost in the sky. Approach from a crow or other predator is diffi­cult. There is no perch. A crow cannot hover like a humming bird. He flies rapidly like a plane and has somewhat the same kind of landing. But a humming bird is a helicopter type, can be stationary in mid-air while she sucks honey from a flower.

* * *Ground nesting birds use an­

other deception. They run along an avenue of hidden escape, then fly up a considerable distance away. They appear as though scar^ from a nest there. They make a time— b̂ut are fooling.

* • •A partridge, nesting at the bot­

tom of a tree, has two protections. One is her natural camouflage, the other is that nature takes from her, at nesting time, the odor or smell whidi attracts dogs, foxes and the like at normal times of the year.
