Our great number of shade trees wouldgive us as good an opportunity to. studybird life as could be had in any forest, ifit were not for the small boy with the per-nicious toy pistol and air gun, the housecat, and other enemies. Even with thesehandicaps our list of native birds that runthe gauntlet and live, is quite large. Forseveral years a pair of a small species ofowl has found a home on North Portagestreet at the intersection of Jefferson.Here has stood for quite a while an olddead tree. Woodpeckers have bored itfall\f holes and raised numerous familiesthere, right within a few feet of the elec-tric light wires, and in the glare cf an arcstreet light. For the past two or threeyears the owls spoken of hare appropriat-ed some of the woodpecker nests and rear-ed their young. Now their home is brokenup. The man with the ax—not the hoe—chopped s down the old dead tree trunk,nearly ready to fall. As it struck the earththe little mother owl flew out of her homewith an affrighted cry. There were threeeggs in her nest which were broken by thefall She stuck by her home loyally andpatriotically and only abandoned it fromnecessity.
