First He Had a Talk With the Tree
Sparrow#.
knows all about bird-," the Tree Spar-
row talking explained to Millie Brownie,
"and I shall give yon that description
for it is quite true and it was told
well in human words.
"We were described as belonging to
the same family as the Field Spar-
rows *md < 'hipping Spai\rows4>elongno
though the others do .not stay afotmd
so much in the winter.
"Now and again we have a Field
Sparrow for a companion as we have
much the same likes and dislikes but
we do feel differently "about the
went her.
"These are the words used to ex-*
plain about us and our looks.
"Chipping Sparrow bus.a blade bill
and Field. Sparrow h rod one during
the summer but when the fall comes
thoir bills are dull in color and lose j
their summer,gorgtfnisness.
"Field Sparrow wears a reddish coat ,
while ('hipping Sparrow wears haTid j
Sosjie whito 1ouches above bis eyes.,
'Now, I'm bigger in size than' these
ot her two;
"I have white touches to the wings
and . a dark spot in the r enter of my
waistcoat which I tall my pet spot!
- "1 dearly love that spot.
"Sometimes we can sing quite sweet-
ly. But I suppose we're not famous
for our voices. Anyway they say it is
nice to see us about in the winter
time."
"I should say so." Bitile Brownie
answered, "and 1 thank you so much
tdr having told me your story. It was
enormously good of you."
"Delighted to tell you it." said the
Tree Sparrow, witii a pretty little trill
lo his voice.
Then Billie Brownie went to call on
the Bed-Breasted Nuthatch and there
he heard of how these birds loved the
-great forest though at times rhey
wandered off to see other places,, too.
and often they went tor a trip with
the Chickadee family or the White-
Breasted Nuthatch.
They told Billie Brownie of the lady
who always put suet on a lilac bush s<>
that her bird friemls could have nice
meals, all through rhe winter,
"We have hltiut little tails and point -
-bills,'' said the Nuthatch, "and that
is really quite easy to remember. For
one part of us is pointed and one is
not, and that to us seems very Simple.
"We don't think auyone-wouhf forget
and sav. "Let us be on the lookout
for the birds with blunt bills and point-
ed tails.' :
"No. surely they will be on the. look-
out for the birds with the pointed bills'
and the blunt 'tails. For these belong
to the Nuthatch family. \ *
"We of the Ked BreaW<n family
are not so well known aWhc one*
of the White-Breasred family. The lat-
ter are the ones abotu the lady's
where the suet hangs on tlie nearby
lilac bush.
"But we liave paid her a visit, too.
"The White-Breasted cousins are
bigger than we are. Then, of course,
there -is more reddish brown to us
and more white to the cousins as you'd
imagine by their names.
"Then. too. the White-Breasted cous-
ins have white faces. And our voices
are higher In pitch. Those are sonn)
of the differences.
"We hope we'xe told enough, Billie
Brownie."^
And Billie Brownie thanked them
:ind said that now he thought he would
always be able to tell the 'difference
between the two families of Nut-
hatches.
