Personal Knowledge
I watched a Chicadee the other day
eating the eggs of some moths Which
wotIld have hatched in the spring into
caterpillars in such numbers as to
deloliate the tree.
Chicadee went at it with as much
system as a mechanic would a , fine
piece of work. Round and round the
branch he went, doing all sorts or
acrobatic stunts to peer into every
crevice. his little nesdleiiko bill seine
like a trip hammer as he picked the
eggs from the egg masses. and alter
a last look, with a cheerful call or
“deedeedee.” which might have been
good-bye, so cheery did it sound in
the winter woods, he flew away to join
the members of his roaming bond in
the high maple in the swamp.
The Massachusetts Board of Agri-
culture snys "that tour Chicadees ex»
aminsd, had eaten 1.028 exss of the
canker worm" and as digestion in
rapid the stomach would have to be
filled many times a day.
With such knowledge of the good
work that Chicadee does. and know
log that a little soot placed in the
trees will attract him to our homes, it
would seem as though every home
would invite him to partake of its
bounty, but We do not see the eggs
on the branches, nor the dormant in
