The cowbird was born so tired that if he could compel any other bird to gather his food for him he would do so, but be cannot, so he scratches about all day among the herds of cattle and sheep and goes to roost at night in great bands of hundreds of his rela tives, always selecting a bushy tree, such as a cypress, for a night's perch, All up and down the Mississippl river valley is the common summer home of these birds, for only in the depth of winter do they retreat to the war mesas of Mexico, whither most of the other birds have preceeded them. In the spring following such a winter they are the first to return, filling all the new year alr with thelr chatter and lining the barnyard trees You must not think that glossy black and brown plent around southern California barnyards during the winter months are cow- birds, for they are not. They are call ed “gracRles” and seem to be more like crows than blackbirds. You find their nests, big, bulky affairs, in the orange and cypress trees of almost any of your ranch homes. There are many, many members to the blaekbird family, the sweet voiced meadow larks and the gorgeous golden orioles as well as the more sober colored blackbirds and grackles, and of all these but one forces the hatching of her eggs and the feeding of her young on to another bird mother. In England the cuckoo has this same habit, but the American euckoo bullds her nest and sits on her eggs as nicely as any robin or dove could do. Bome- times our road runner so far forgets herself as to lay ber eggs in the nest of a quail or a meadow lark, but not often, but when she does the bird upon whom Mrs. Hoad Ruuner pose generally breaks the strange ogg or else goes away and leaves the nest alone, the wood rats have a feast, to whicl times the road runner con for she is very fond of eggs they are not her own ut the cowbird such poor job jects the nest of » regions where the home of one of these littl is most frequently chosen gs many eggs as she thinks the of the nest will submit « Bometimes the warbler goes incubating the intruder, but then the two oki birds get and dump the egg out on the Nests have been found in whic warblers put a mud floor over nest and bait another one on tof leaving their own eggs to spoll t they knew no other way to rid them srives of the cowbind.

How many eggs a cowbhird lays mo one knows, bul as many as seven have been found In one nest of the oven bird, a kind of thrush found in the eastern states. Usually, however, only one egg is laid In each nest, es pecially if the birds to whom the nest belongs are small and the nest too little to hold more than one of the cow- bird's young in comfort. The parent cowbird never disturbs the eggs of any of the birds In whose nests she leaves her own, knowing full well that if she did so the nest bulider would In all probability desert her home or throw the strange egg out. Oftentimes more than one cowbird lays in the same nest, and, as no two eggs of these birds are ever exactly alike in color, you may be sure that no cowbird knows her own egg half a minute aft. er she has laid it.—Los Angeles Times. very few days be nest continue to IAked Wooden Ships.
