No. 10,045. Cyperus - Mr. McMider says: "Yes, I can "call" swans. Swan flocks are not so uncommon and when they are migrating overhead they can be made to stop and circle and come down. Most all aquatic fowl can be "called." There is one exception; that is the pelican. The pelican is a wary bird. Teal can be called by a whistle; but the whistle must be just the right pitch. If it is a little too high or too loud, off they go. It must have the right tone and yet ahave "carrying quality." Enormous numbers of ducks |
40_35 River, near San Andreas, 4 Aug. '23 and geese still come in to the great marshes north of Marysville Buttes. Mallard ducks will eat acorns. I demonstrated this to a sceptical friend in the hills back of Antelope Valley, where there is a pond frequented by large numbers of ducks. Several were killed and their gizzards showed acorns. There is one bird that will fight - the Sandhill Crane. A wounded but not disabled Sandhill Crane is a somewhat dangerous bird to approach unarmed." This McMider belongs to the cement works, now being started near San Andreas. No. 10,046. ? Pinus sabiniana seed. |
