Members of the Dominion Government Parks Department have visited Mrs. Brown and taken motion pictures of the bird, which Mrs. Brown says “is no longer than my thumb.” The story of how the little flyer first came to her through an 0 ion window, has been broadcasted. It is thought it delayed going south until too late, and was attracted through the window by the warmth of the house. It lives almost en- tirely on insects. ‘ To be one or the two women in orithOIOgy’s history who have tamed that elusive and somewhat rare Am- erican bird, the humming bird, is the distinction held by Mrs. R.
