window i saw my first robin he was investigating the scraggy lawn probably for worms and every mow and then he would stop and look around as if in disgust and as much as to say that the proverb about the early bird catch ing the first worm was all bunk but cock robin was too early for the worms apparently had not yet awakened from their long winter sleep or were unable to get up through the frost line what struck me however about this lone robin was that he was an individualist he was on his own and beside looking for worms he may have been looking around for a wife unless he had already mated before or during his trip from the south a friend of mine who has made a lifelong study of birds he says flock together and that wild geese and some ducks mate for life and return to the same habitat from year to year to raise their young he says that most of the smaller birds mate after they arrive all kinds of these birds he says flock together and travel mostly by night they must have an instinctive sense of direc tion since they follow the same routes year after year it has been suggested that they are guided by some form of natural radar but this seems to be denied by the fact that they are occasionally killed in droves by flying into light houses however they know where they are going and when ithey have arrived at their destination uip to that time- they are communists with no class or type distinctions or competition but waving arrived they separate and scatter some settling in the suburbs of cities and others in the wilds from then on they cease to be communists or eyen a mild form of socialists and they start up in business as the keenest of freeenterprisers a male bird will stake his claim by sitting on a tree top and announc ing his decision in song this initial song has the double purpose of attracting a mate and of warn ing other male birds to keep off his little concession my friend who is a bird mimic tells me that when he has imitated the song of an oriole a male oriole would fly toward him displaying every indi cation of annoyance and challenge to an intruder the sparrows we have always with us and during the winter they are very humble and docile creatures but with the coming of spring when their thoughts turn to mating and housing they be come most unsociable the male birds will fight over a mate and even over a nesting place with a great todo of screaming and ohattering the song birds seem to be more respectable in their love- making but the males are none the less competitive in their woo ing and i am told that some of them remain bachelors throughout the season these- must be the fat robins who have nothing else to do but gorge themselves with the early and late worms on the lawn i didnt ask my friend alxwt the spinisters but presumably there are some who like the baohelors were disappointed in love and having ixassed the romantic period lose all interest in the opposite sex the study of bird life is a fascin ating one while it may not be true to say that the proper study of mankind is birds there are many features about birds in general that are similar to those of humans even in the variety of facial features there is a strong likeness between birds and men and this is often emphasized by people who wear ihornrimmod glasses but the the brady way stop trouble clean the cooling system of your
