AIQMIJJQ» oe-eowswmwv» , Two Species of Cuekoos

In the list of birds issued by the Prince of Wales College ll l “Rh- er's bulletin, in 1916, there were two species of Cuckoos enumerated as resident here. The Yellow-bil- led Cuckoo‘ comes first, but no par- ticular instance of its capture, or even of its having been observed,

created a belief well expressed by Mr. Robis W. Tufts, Chief Federal Migratory Bird Officer, that the bird's appearance on the Island was "undoubtedly accidental." Its north- ern limit is now said to be - New Brunswick. and it is KHPWH "ill l! breeds as far south as Mexico. It winters in South America.

The Black-billed Cuckoo, on the other hand, is vouched for by Fran- cis Bain, an accurate observer of ail our Island wild life. He says: "The Black-billed Cuckoo is a rare summer vlsitant that spends but a few short weeks of the leafy months with us. Tennyson says of the English Cuckoo:

"To right and 1m The cuckoo told his name to all the hills."

Our bird is more discreet, and never says more than cook, cooiﬂ as it wanders from one shady perch to another. It is an exceedingly shy bird, hiding its rich, bronzed plumage most jealously in the thick ' “ * It is not a parasite, like the English bird, but always builds a nest for its own eggs." The only record of this bird comes from Pownal, sent in by Miss Maude M. Jones. Mr. Tufts rates it as "un- common." ‘ A short description of each spe- cies, will help our bird-watchers: Yellow-billed Cuckoo. AOU. 387. Rare visitor. Upper mandible of bill brownish-black, lower mandible yellow. Head above the eye, back, and wing coverts, dull brown, pri- ma ' and secondaries rich rufous. Underparts white. Tail long, round- ed, mostly dark above, large oval- obiong white spots below. Length of adult about 12.25 inches. Black-billed Cuckoo. AOU. 388. Summer resident-HIS. Both man- dibles black, eye-ring red, Head above the eye, back, wings and up- per surface of tail dull brown, (no rufous). Underparts white. Tail long rounded, under surface with small white spots arranged to form 3 cross bars. Length about 11.75 inches.

Cuckoos are valuable since they eat hairy, and tent, caterpillars, which are refused- by most other birds.

Nature Notes

Wednesday, April 13th, was one of those freak days that come along at this season. The sky was clear and the sun brilliant; the ther- mometer reached 55 degrees here and 61 degrees at Charlottetown. I took a turn across the garden to see the "Mezereon", (Daphne Mezer- eum), and the flower buds were ai- resdy showing color. When fully open the flowers are purplish and highly fragrant. This shrub is worthy of a place in the garden for its early blooming; but children should be warned against eating its berries. It isfound in great quantity growing in the fences at Hunter River and Marshfield. Everything was heating up nicely that day and the earth was giving up water in the form of invisible vapor: the air was full of it. Then the wind changed to a northerly di- rection at nightfall, and the vapor was chilled and condensed to fog, that lasted all the next day. There were other noteworthy oc- currences on the 13th; a total eclipse of the Moon, and a violent earthquake over 500 miles on the Pacific coast. They had a remote connection with each other. About the year 1870 a French astronomer». Alexis Pcrrey of Dijon, sought to trace a connection between the oc- currence of earthquakes and the age of the Moon. He had kept a catalogue of these events for years and after a careful analysis of it he believed that he had established these facts: (1) earthquakes are more liable to occur when the Moon is in opposition to, or in con- junction with tha Sun, and (2) the tendency to “quake" is strong when the Moon is in Perigae (nearest the Earth) and decreases as the Moon approaches the Apogee. These favorable conditions coincided late on April 12th: the Moon was in Perigee and was in the Full phase (in opposition to the Sun) at 23 hrs. 28 min. Perrey also held that shocks are more frequent when the Moon is on the meridian. than when 90 degrees from it. Earthquakes, from one cause or other, are occur- ring all the time. but the big ones most oer nly have special causes.

Mr. Gorddn Warren's note on the

Pine Mouse (Guardian, April 16th) will be read with interest by orch- ardists and others. 1 had s fins specimen of a Verbascum, from the Lebanon, whose large velvetyleaves took the attention of visitors. When the snow went this year, I found that some mouse had eaten out the heart of the plant and scooped s neat hollow into the root. There was a buried "run", near-by with holes for entrance and exit. This may have been the work of the Pine Mouse.

The National Geographic Moga-

zine, of May 1918, gives acolored plate of the Pine Mouse, which is there classified as Pltymyg pine- iioruln. These little rodents said to be rather smaller than the common field mice -- to which they are related —- with much shorter tails, and shorter, finer, and more glossy fur. ground habits they are much more dangerous to orchards than field mice. by burrowing along rows of pota- toes and other root crops which they feed."

In June 1933, I received word

that an In igo Bunting, a sparrow- 'sized bird _ had just been observed at Marsh- field. Since this Bunting was not included in the 1916 list of Island birds, it was provisionally marked as an "accidental visitor". However. on April 17th of this year a neigh- bor told me he had been a small blue bird that morning. I "turned up all the pictures of “blue birds that! had and when he saw the Indigo Bunting, he said, the one!" Seeing that its summer range as given in the bird-books. is from south New Brunswick to the Central United States, it is quite likely that some hardy individuals may cross the Straits and land in the Island. Look out for a bird all over of a rich blue tint.

The residents of Crspaud and the surrounding communities are ng a combined effort to erect a library building in Crapaud. There has been a free lending library in that village, serving the People and the schools in the vicinity since 1934, located in the store of Brent C. Wood. However that space is no longer available, and the library has to find new quart-orator, though the Carnegie Foundation supplies books and pays the librarian, the community has to furnish the build- ing, fuei~and"light.

—SICOND ACCIDENT -- Three days after Mr. Hickox was injured. a second accident occurred at Bur- lington mills, which might have cost the life of Elric Campbell, 8, but for the presence of mind of his brother, Thane, a year or two older. The boys were fishing off the darn. in the pond, which was well filled with water, when the little fellow lost his balance while casting his line and fell in. Thane, a short distance away, seeing the smaller lad struggling in the icy water promptly pulled off his long rubber boot, and extended it to Eiric who was able to grasp it and was brought to safety. The little fei- iow was shivering from shockand cold and cried pitifully, "I couldn't breathe down there," but after be- ing warmed at the ldickox home, and fitted out with dry clothing he was able to cross the fields to his home. The boys are sons of Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Campbell, Burling- ton.—Bur.
