ie if . 5 .6 I T he ay Bird we have so named from his resemblance to our American birds which are called by that title? This bird was discovered in the wilds of a very remote and uncivilized part of American territory Anne Arundel Countv. A party from St. john s camped in that section last year. In the course of one of our hunts we by misfortune came to know the only inhabitant of that land whom we named Wfhiskers from his shaggy beard. The old hunter had the bird as 1 The next bird of importance is the Woodcoclz. You mayi say you consider the VVoodcock as a very ordinary bird but the one we have is far superior in quality to any vet known to mankind. It may be owing to his qualities that we prize him most yet with every look at the bird my mind reverts to thrilling times not all pleasant, that I spent with the party who secured the fowl. It was in the year 1900 that a party, under the direction of several brave guides, among whom we are proud to include the wild man, VVhiskers, from Anne Arundel regions, set out to make some settlements, and, if possible colonize the land and subdue the barbarous and uncivilized race in a territory known as the Wicoinico wilds. WI h1le there we came upon a camp of natives, who called the place Salisbury, an Indian name for nowhere. These people showed a friendly spirit and we were soon attending one of their war dances, of the most weird and fantastic nature. After the dance the chief took me to his wigwam and showed me his pet bird, which as a friendly token he gave me. We were safely escorted from camp next day, and soon after succeeded in subduinff the people, and, after placing a colony, xx e left for Annapolis. This istthe history of our Wooclcock. ' The Crane is the last and oldest fowl we have. VV hen I say oldest, I mean not as to life, but old in our service. This bird we prize for its dramatic perform- ances and also for its beautiful plumage. 'Wl1611 we called it a Crane, we did not do so from the fact that it resembles that species of birds in the least, for, on the contrary, it possesses not a characteristic .of the Crane, its neck being very ll l I 2 C J ffl I 7 ' i A I ' C ,3 pet, but we induced him to sell it to us, which he very reluctantl f consented to do .Q 7 ' ri ' rf ' I 7 J 1 1 I J 0 f b 7 1 I I T I l 1 . lr gl JL short and legs not at all out of proportion with the rest of its body. But we called the bird a Crane because of the tradition which is told of his past-that he was taken under the wing of a Crane when young, and, like Romulus and Remus, was nursed until he was able to take care of himself-at least, he thought so. But, alas! sad fact, he was one day caught in the meshes of a net set by Director Fell, of the zoo, in the regions of St. lVIary's County. In addition to our collection of animals and birds, we have started to collect rare plants. At present we have only one-the Wliite Lily. T99
