3 mi 't THE CANADIAN STATESMAI4, BOWMA!qVILLE, THURSDAY, JUNE 27th, 1935 PAGE FIVE Mgratory Bird Sanctuary (Continued fromn page 1) senting his own work. The rarest bird in the collection is a specimen of the Passenger Pigeon, once pres- cnt in Ontario in literally millions. and nowv totally extinct. A stuffed exhibit of these birds in their nat- ural habitat wa.s on display last autumn in the Toronto Museum. In Jack's collection the birds range in size from a Bald Eagle to a Hum- ming Bird. A while ago Jack found an aban- doned nest of sixteen pheasant eggs, which he brought home and set under a hen, not really building up any great hopes of themn hatching, for Previously with an incubator he had had bad luck. However the hen did better and hatched nine of the eggs, though one has since died. When the pheasant.s are a little big- ger he will open their pen and grad- ually let them run wild again. While enaoying this unique inter- view we could not help but compare aur boyhood pranks and hobby of climbing trees, roaming through f ields and marshes and scaling the cliffs at the lake in search of birds' eggs. Collecting birds' eggs wvas as popular a pastime in those days as stamp collecting is to-day among the youth. Do you recaîl how we would prick the eggs at both ends with a pin and then blow the yolk, etc.. out? Some times there was too much "'etc." in the egg as the bird had started to form and that was just. too bad, we thought. 1 can picture now how we would get a shallow box, put a layer of cotton batting in lt and then carefully place the eggs on the sol t downy substance, and for protection would put glass over the top of the box. A popular place for keeping thesel so-called "treasure boxes" was un- der the bcd or behind the bureau. What a delightful sight those eggs presented with their plain and var- iegated colors and mottled spots and hues from which we could tel every egg in the collection. Since reaching the age of discretion we now think what a wicked and in- human sport it was as compared with the pleasant diversion in which aur Young friend Jack Jennings en- joys. Who will deny that the youth of to-day have not shown a decided improvement over their eiders back in the 90's? We are winding up this story by listing the 176 birds Jack has re- corded as temporary guests of his refuge. Just check them off and let us know how many you have seen in your back yard or here- abouts: Horned Orebe Loon Great Black-backed Ou!! Herring Gul!
