In Scotland it ls the "Snowflake", and it doubtless has many more names for it is found in all the cold regions of the northern hemis- phere. Snowbirds leave the Arc- tic in great flocks at the end of the brief summer, and‘ spend the fall and winter with us. becom- ing more noticeable when other‘ birds have left us. Like the Redpolls, they dine on weed seeds. and search the fields and roadsldos systematically in a kind of leapfrog style. the rear ranks flying to the front as their share of seeds is eaten. “We see (hem when white prevails in their (winter) plumage. In sum- mer, in the Arctic, they are black and white. A friendly, confiding little bird is the Black-capped Chickadee who "fears not storms nor cold" as the song says. Like the Blue Jays they are regular customers of the feeding station. There is this difference in their habits however; for the Chickadee you may make your feeding station on me window sill. and the birds will trust you implicitly. The suspicious Blue Jay prefers the station at some distance from the house. In winter I often see little bands of these birds search- ing the trees along the creek. for noxious insects or their‘ eggs. When the sun is beginning to be felt again, the call-note ‘Qhicka-dee-dee" makes one re: joice-"Spring will soon be here!’ That. hardy bird. the Slate- colored Junco, may be seen about the barnyard almost any day dur- ing the long winter. though it does not become vocal till Sprink- Besldes its color the Junco has another and more striking feat- ure.

I have several winter records of the quaint little Acadian or saw-uthet Owl. This ls the small- est Owl we have: not much hi8‘ ger than a Robin.

Brlmicy, of North Carolina, says it can lift approx- imately its own weight, viz. 10 or 11 lbs. It is a shy bird and keeps well away front the haunts of men, but it goes after wild creatures like rabbits, foxes. mam- mals held in traps, lambs. tur- keys, and geese. and has been ob- served to capture snakes. It is not averse to eating carrion. if nothing better presents itself. In Scotland there was n Golden Eagle too, and fifty years ago I heard that an occasional lamb was "lifted." But there was no shooting of the Eagles, for two reasons. The landowners pro- tected them for aesthetic rea- sons, as long as they were only occasional in their dept-citations: the mountains and the eagles made better scnery than either of them alone. The other reason was more practical: eagles‘ eggs sold fori good prices to collectors. museums and the like. And the canny Scots always left a nest or tzwo untouched, to keep up the breed-i lng stock! The Bald Eagle is readilyi known by its white head and‘ tail. (It is not really bald). Two have ‘been shot. and one trapped l in the Island during the past six _ years. The eagle uhizh was cap- i (tired. was afterwards released. I a-m happy to record. Those which were shot, were slain in defiance of the law, I understand. The food of the Bald Eagle is much the same as that oi’ the Golden Eagle, though Brlmley i credits it with an occasional lik- ing for little pigs!

Ten Stallions Imported From United Kingdom To maintain its horses inlptovc- brovrri, mcnt policies, the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture recently made an importation of ten stallions from the United Kingdom. The shipment, imported for breeding DlIIW-‘ies. consisting of four clydes- dale and siX Thoroughbred stallions which are stabled at the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, where they will remain until distributed to other Experimental Farms and to light horse breeding stations in the Dominion. The stallions were selected by J. M. McOallum, As- sistant Director of the Production Service and A. McKendl-ick, Central Experimental Iiiarm, Ottaiwo. who brought them to Can- ada. The Clydesdales, three of them rising three years and one rising four. will be placed for service at Experimental Fbrms at which there are groups of good pure-bred, Clydesdale mares sired by stallions infpcrted by the Department in 1934 and 1939.
