"Our Winged Friends." An Essay Read Before the Pennsylvania Fruit Growers' Society at Harrlsbarg. January IS, 1882. by Simen P. Eby. Since the time when ruau began te til the soil, be has called around him reany assistants te lighten bis labors and help him earn the bread be was te ' cat in the sweat of bis brew." All our domestic animals have at some time been reclaimed from their wild state by man and trained te a higher condition of intelligence and usefulness. Of the manner in which this is done we have no particular account. We can read that in these days there were " mighty hunters," audit is te be presumed that when they hunted and slew, they likewise captured and tamed some of the animals, and that the work of domestication was gradually brought about in that way. The latest accession te the list, wc be lieve te have been the wild turkey of the American forest. Why the work should have stepped with him, when ether birds of equal merit, if net equal weight, are left te ream at large, is a question that re mains unanswered. Besides our domestic group, there is another aud mere numerous class that, en account el the kind of feed en which they live, and their consequent migratory hab its, cannot be domesticated, but are in their wild state equally the friends of man, doing him m many ways incalcula ble benefits, which by a little mera pro tection and encouragement might be greatly increased. It is in behalf of some of these neglected and oftentimes persecuted friends of the fanner and fruit-grower, that wc desire te enlist your kind attention aud sympathy for the brief space of time allotted te us. When our remote ancestors, emerging from barbarism, began te build permanent homes, and settle down from a roving te a mere civilized life, they, observed that many of the tenants m the primativc forests began te approach their habita tions and take part in the protection of the newly planted fields and orchards, or busied themselves in clearing the sur rounding atmespcre. IW instance, one kind of swallow left the hollow forest trees, te build in the newly erected chimneys. The martin and rock-pewce forsook the savage cliffs, te rear their young under the friendly thatch. Rebin and oriole came te assist, where the hand of the husbandman proved un equal te tho'werk of keeping the growing buds and blossoms free from destructive insects. Likowise came ethers, te prey upon the weaker ones, or te feed en the fruits of man's labor. These latter had te be driven off, and thus, between the two classes and man there sprung into cxistence a mutual feeling of friend and fee. He gave protection te the one, and waged war against the ether. The one coming in cthcreal shapes with pleasant voices, te assume their labors at the time their services were needed aud again leaving for unknown lands when the season of usefulness was ever. The ether issuing from their hiding places, te com mit depredation at uncertain aud unex pected hours, aud again retreating te the depths of the adjacent forests, themselves unseen ; they left behind them unmis takable evidence of their work either friendly or hostile We can readily perceive hew under such circumstances the untutored but imagin ative ininds of our rometo forefathers. .actuated by their love or hatred, invested some of these creatures with shapes and attributes half-human, and iu that way peopled the streams and groves with strange beings "visibloenly by the uncer tain glimpse of the moon." " It is te be regretted," saith a writer, " that the light of modern Boience has frightened away all our elves and fairies." This we beliove te be a mistake. They are still with U3 ; perhaps less numerous than formerly ; but they are still here ; as in the ' olden time " the whims of the geed rcauire te be humored : and the tricks of the bad ones te against. the bad ones te be guarded In the days of .Esop the beasts wcre made te speak and the birds te reason. The ancients accepted the fables net ac cording te the letter any mere than we moderns de ; but for the lessens they con veyed. Even se with the creatures with which they were brought in contact. They represented the geed or evil genii that haunted the ancient streams and groves, or hid within the dim recesses of the Ger man forests. Clothing them in shapes half human only served te bring .them closer te man himself, and intensified the feelings already existing. The transformation must have con tributed te the welfare of such as were considered friendly and te the destruction of these looked upon as hostile. Learning from the ancients let us inter est ourselves a little mere in the creatures by which we are surrounded. In the birds, for instauce as our geed fairies, if we cheese, or iu the light of modern science. They will statid the test either way. Let us get our children and neigh bors interested . also. Teach them bird history, teach them te observe their habits, the manner of precuiing their feed and of escaping their enemies ; the skill with which they build their nests, the tender affection they show towards their mates, and the untiring industry with which they labor te rear their young. Direct their attention te the tine vocal powers some of thorn possess and the sweet and varied songs with which they help te swell the grand hymu of Nature. In short, let us learn that bird life has its labors, duties, difficulties, joys and ser rows, calling for sympathy, very much like human life ; and the chances are we will leve and protect our " winged friends " mere, and in return reap the bcnclits of their orchard and fie'd. multiplied labors in We will net attempt te treat the subject scientifically, but in our own ay con fining ourselves te birds wholly or in part insectivorous, and becin with theso that take their feed upon the winjr. These constitute the scavengers of the air, and are provided with long and powerful wings, that sustain continuous ilight with ease and-great rapidity of motion. Prominent among them are the different kinds of swallows, the night -hawks and purple martin. They are old acquaint ances in Pennsylvania ; some of them great favorites with our people, and all of them deserving our fullest hospitality and pro tection. They live altogether en Hying insects, which they pursue with great diligence and dexterity from morning te night. The number of insects a single pair of these birds destroy in a season, if it could be accurately computed, would tbe aston ishing. Seme faint idea maybe formed by watching a nest of the young, while the parent birds are feeding them.-. Frem our own observation, we are satisfied that the visits of a pair of barn swallows at such a time was no less than once in every ten minutes each time, with their bills well Jilled with insects. Sir. Palmer, of Massachusetts, states that he saw a parent bird visit a young purple martin en a church spire opposite his window five times in as many minutes each time with an insect. The barn swallow and purple martin by no means homely in dress, are sociable in their habits, and exceedingly graceful en the wing. The first named, builuiug its nest in or about the barn, fellows the farmer te the field, and keeps him company while at work ; skimming around! and past him and his team new close te the ground new ever the leaded hay-wagon then away into the adjoining field, circling among tue graztug cattle it snaps up such in sects as may be put te flight by the work men or animals. We remember en oue occasion seeing a nest of winged ants issuing out of an old fence pest. It was net long until a swal low discovered them, and must ha ve com municated the fact te the ethers ; for in a short time quite a fleck of swallows aud martius wcre sweeping back and forth ever the spot, snapping up the insects as fast as they took wing, aud few, if any of them, escaped. The purple martin is equally a favorite. Wherever these birds have ence estab lished themselves, which is usually iu small colonies, among the habitations of man they will, if net disturbed, return annually te tbe same boxes, aud become, as it wcre, apart of the household during their stay. Their coming is anxiously looked for in the spring, their arrival is hailed with delight, aud their departure, in the latter part of summer, mere or less tinged with feelings of sadness, such as we experience in parting with a iriend. The presence of these birds, like the presence of the swallow, is by many per sons considered as an assurance of con tinued prosperity ; while their failure te return would be looked upon as an omen of impending misfortune te the honse they have deserted. They are a lively, garrulous and spirited bird. Net gifted with the power of song, they seem te make up for this deficiency by an increased love for gossiping. Their early morning salutations in front of their boxes are, however, very pleasant te listen te. The male bird makes a model husband. During the time his mate is sitting, he be comes quite domestic, and spends part of his time in front of the box dicssiug and arranging his plumage, occasionally passing te the deer of the apartment as if te inquire hew she does. His notes, at this time, have assumed a peculiar soft ness, expressive of much tenderness. And yet he is a courageous bird, and will un hesitatingly attack' with great spirit and audacity hawks, crews and ether large biids, andxiven cats, if they shows them selves in the vicinity of his home. Tints recalling te mind the closing lines of Bayard Tayler's "Seng of the Camp." " The bravest arc the tendcrest, The loving are the daring," " Conjugal fidelity, even where there is a number together," says Mr. Wilsen, "seems te be faithfully preserved by these birds. The martin feeds upon the larger kind of insects ; wasp anil beetles forming his principal feed. We are aware that he has been accused of a failure te discriminate between such legitimate prey and the honey bee, aud that neighboring swarms have .sometimes suffered iu conse quence. Be this as it may, for our part we shall find no fault with him en that account. Since its cress with the Italian our honey bee has bocerao such a pest te fruit growers that we might well be rid of it altogether. Thcre are two ether well known mem bers of this group with which we could net well dispense. Our summer sky could hardly be con sidered perftet without at least a pair of long-winged night-hawks sporting lazily through it, eqd descending occatienally with a sounding sweep. Neither would our summer evenings be properly rennded oft without a fleck of twittering chimney swallows circling ever our heads and dropping successively out of sight, as parting daylight is fading into darkness1. Iu the second group we will speak of these that watch for their prey from the perch, but take it while flying. "These are called the fly catchers. Prominent amongst them are the king bird, rock pewee and weed pewce. "It scorns a prevision of nature," writes Mr. Samuels, " that all fly catchcis shall only take these insects that have taken flight from the foliage of trees and shrubs, at the same time making the warblers and ether birds capture these which -remain concealed in such places." "The king bird, in seizing a flying insect, flies in a sort of half-flitting hover and seizes it with a snap of the bill. Sometimes he descends from his perch and captures a grasshepper that has just taken a short flight aud occasionally seizes one that Is crawling up same tall stalk of grass." "These fanners who keep hjjtdislike this bird because efhis bad habit of eating as many of these insects as show them selves in the neighborhood efhis nest, but they should remember that the general in terests ei agriculture are greater than these of a hive of bees." He is possessed of great courage and is mere than a match for hawk or crew, which he attacks and drives oil' whenevcr thcy venture into bis neighborhood. The rock pewee, or house pewee, comes te us in the early days of spring, and announces his arrival by uttering the notes from which he derives his name. Like the swallow ha generally seeks his last year's nest and makes such repairs as he fancies necessary ; perhaps a small ad dition te strengthen the outside or a new lining. The foundation of the nest is composed of pellets of mud mixe.l with iiue roots and grasses, plastered te the wall or ether object against which it is built, and lined with soft grasses, wool or feathers. His favorite haunt is under the arch of a bridge, or under the eave of a mill or dwelling-. Here he can be seen during the breeding season, perched en the branch of some ever-hanging tree, or upon the rail of the bridge, or neighboring feuce pest, flirting his tail, uttering his plaintive notes and darting about in all directions snap ping up the insects which generally swarm plentifully in the locality he has chosen for his home. The weed pewce is generally found foraging along the edge of the weeds that hides his ncst.er among the lower branches of the fruit trees near .the gardens, and even among the trees growing en the city lets. Here, like his less shy cousin, he can be seen perched en rome projecting twig always en the alert, darting quickly for ward and back, catching the flying insects that come within sight of bis ever watch ful eye. His notes, uttered while thus employed, are similar te the rock-pewee only mere plaintive and longer drawn ent. The next group, embraces these birds, that seek and capture, their feed among the foliage, buds and blossoms of the trees and shrtibs. Prominent among them rank the Balti more oriole, orchard oriole, weed or song thrush, the vircees, and some of the warblers. "The feed of the oriole, is almost en tirely insectivorous, young peas and sta mens of cherry and plum flowers forming the only exceptions. These small rob beries are but a slight compensation for the invaluable services he renders the gardener in the destruction of hosts of uoxieus insects. At first beetles and bymenoptereus insects, form his diet and he seeks them with rest less agility amenc the ODenimr buds. As the season progresses, and the caterpillars begin te appear, he forsakes the tough beetle and rejoices in their juicy bodies. Even the hairy kind he docs net refuse, aud is altlest the euly bird that will cat the disgusting tent caterpillar of the apple frnne - Te its usefulness it adds a plumage of rare beauty and brilliancy, a song of great cheerfulness aud a nest wonderfully con structcd. " There is in his song," says Mr. Wil Wil eon, a certain wild plaiutiveness, ex tremely interesting ; that is uttered with the pleasing tranquillity of a careless plow boy, whistling for his own amusement." ' It is a joyous contented song," says a writer in ilnrpsr's Magazine, " standing out from the chorus that greets our half awakened ears at day light, as brightly as its author shines against the dewy foli age." T. W. Hisrsinsen exclaims, " Yonder oriole Alls with light aud melody the thousand branches of a neighborhood." He is a social bird a bird of sunlight. His hammock-like nest is never found in the deep weeds. His haunts are these grand old trees which the farmer leaves here and thcre in his fields as shade for his cattle, that lean ever the briar-tangled fence of the lane, or droop toward the dancing waters of some rural river. We arc new among a host of feathered choristers, te which the song of the oriole is like the bugle notes, for the opening of the grand .winged orchestra. Where all possess se much merit it is difficult te assign precedence. Ont of the deep weeds, however, comes a beautiful melancholy strain, which is net very com mon but when heard cannot fail te arrest the attention. "The prelude te this song, " says Nut tall, "resembles almost the double tonguing of the flute, blended with a tinkling, shrill and solemn warble, which in echoes from his solitary retreat like tbe dirge of some sad rcclu.se, who shuns the busy haunts of life." " The whole air consists usually of four parts, or bars, which succeed in deliberate time and finally blend together in impres sive and seething harmony becomingtnero mellow and sweet at every repetition. It is nearly impossible b, words te convey auy idea of fie peculiar warble of the vocal hermit. ; hut among his phrases the sound of "a'iiecc,'" peculiarly liquid and followed by a trill, repeated iu two separate bars, is readily recognizable." We have followed this song, which seemed te recede before us deeper into the weeds as we advanced, without getting a sight of the bird, until brought te a sud den halt by a sharp "chuck;" when for the first time we saw tbe object of our search perched upon a twig of a neighbor ing tree and eying ns sliarply. It was the " song thrush " or "weed thrush;" a bird in size between the blue biid and robin ; cinnamon brown en the back and whitish breast marked with well-defined dark triangular spots. Its notes are uttered while engaged in hunting for insects among the foliage. Next we have the " Vircees," of which thcre are four reported as visiting this part of our country. The red-eyed, warb ling, white-eyed and blue-headed all use ful birds, that feed en insects which, like the two preceding, they hunt among the feli age. They are in size about like the canary, of a grayish elive green, and variously marked as their names indicate. Their nests are pensile or hanging generally fastened te the fork of a horizontal twig, shaped net unlike a shallow, open mouthed purse. Mr. Samuels writes of the Rcd-eycd Virce in the following commendatory manner: "I feel that no description of mine can de justice te the genial, happy, industrious disposition of this, oue of out most common, and, perhaps, best-loved birds. Frem the time of its arrival about the first week iu May, uutil its departure, about the first week in October, it is seen in the feliage of elms and ether shade trees, in the midst of our villages and cities, iu the apple trees near the farm houses, aud in the tall oaks aud chestnut?, in the deep forests everywhere at all hours of the day, from early dawn until evening twilight, his sweet, half plaintive, half meditative carol is heard ; and when ever we see him, we notice that he is busily searching in the foliage of trees ler caterpillars aud noxious larv:u, or pursu winged insects that have taken flight from the trees. " Of this beautiful aud favorite family I feel that it is impossible te say tee much in their favor ; their neat and delicate plumage .and sweet song, their engaging and interesting habits, and their well kuewu insect-destroying proclivities, have justly rendered them great favorites ; and the farmer iu protecting them and cn cn cetiraging them te take up homes near bis orchard and gardens, but extends a care and welceme te his best friends." The wren and blue-bird may be consid ered together ; both being insectivorous, capturing their feed alike upon the trees and en the ground, and building in crev ices and boxes. These birds seem te be getting mete scarce in late years. Iu our school-boy days there was no season that we did net knew of a wren or bluebird's nest. We recollect instances when the wren contend ed for quarters with the martin and out witted him by narrowing the entrance of the box with sticks, strongly and skill fully placed, se as te admit himself, but keep his larger antagonist out.
