Report
The Snow which bedecked the landscape of Archer County this
past week has been much easier lo travel o# as weB as creating
beautiful scenes sneb as the oae above lo eajoy.
Tkis'N’ That
bv Ruby L. Roberta—
An effective antidote for
that malady known as cabin
fever, which has afflicted
many of us lately; is to
watch the antics of a pet
mockingbird. The one who
bosses our backyard could
give lessons in dictatorship
to Castro, as the only thing
she fears is a 40 mph wind
with a zero chill factor.
Whether the backyard
visitors aro a duet of field
larks, a quartet of cardinals
or a chorus of white crowned
sparrows, Miss Mockingbird
runs them away. Some folks
tell us that they have had to
capture such ill-mannered
birds and send them
elsewhere in order that other
birds may visit the feeders.
We have not reached that
point, but a feud is building
between mocker and our
yellow tomcat, and she may
just dive bomb him once too
often.
Texans have been accused
of selecting the mocker as
our state bird because her
bossy nature matches the
average Texan, but the
states of Arkansas, Florida,
Mississippi and Tennessee
also named the mockingbird
as their state bird.
The mocker is considered
one of the finest songbirds,
with a repertoire of about 20
songs. Nothing could make
a person happier, in this
downhill side of wintertime,
than to see our bird perform
her aerial antics and flood
the yard with musk. That
must wait for spring, for the
present. Her only song is a
harsh call from the branches
of the jujube tree which
brushes the bathroom win-
dow to let us know that the
water trough is frozen over.
