~~no W~~ek1y 1.. .. ...........25 17 ___ If we were ta mnenuon Tennesse Williamns most people, if not al, wouild be well aware of the talent of Wlllamts as a great singer and one who held top cbarts for many years. A Tennesse Warbler, we 50 believe, lias been perched In the top of a big Spruce in aur backyard and it is also a great singer. It opens its chips -and trilîs moat eniergetically at early daylight and lias been continuing until mid morning. The energy and sound level does reduce somewhat as the mornlng. progresses. There is good reason. Little time elapses between the individual sangs. Althougli the bird lias sang in the top of the tree for hours we have only bad a gimpse of the bird for a mere three minutes at best and that was during a duli momling. Spmuce trees do carry a lot of litter alang their limbs and in this litter the bird Is most difficuit ta find. Prior ta the sightlng we had determined -the bird, judglng from It sang, had ta be a S parraw, a Funcli or a Warbler. The short slghting did allow the observance of a Warbler bll thus eindnating the Sparrow and Fincli. Further the blrd's chest was somewhat liglit grey, or white with a possible smudge. The Tennesse seems ta fit this description. A sonagrams which appears i the Golden Guide for Birds seems ta fit the length of sang and the placement of the chips and tbull. It is alsostated that the Tennesse Warbler lias some affection for Spruce woods. It 50 bappens that 45 years ago Z had planted thirty Spruce in thie valley back of the house. A couple are now 23 inches in diameter wi1th others in the fifteen inch range. The- bird was also singung from thie top- of, a Spruce. The bird lias not been present in the past five or six days. Perhaps it was singlng for a mate ta no avail. The Tennesse Warbler does pass through this area usually nesting farther north. We wiil neyer know for sure and would have llked ta have a good sighting of the bird. It does have a distinctive black slash through it eye which would bave been easy ta identify if there had been some sunlight durlng those three minutes.
