In the springtime of each and every year my sister, a city-farmer, has her trials and tribulations with the starlings. They sit in solemn rows along her landscaped backyard fence to supervise the planting of the swelling seeds. When my poor sister has at long last completed this back-breaking task to retire upon her patio with a cooling drink, the belligerent birds make their move. In stately single file they travel slowly down the rows to unearth and devour each tender embryo in turn while my stricken sister races madly from one end of the garden to the other, sobbing and cursing. This year it is even worse. Her pride and joy is a newly-planted strawberry bed, laden with rapidly ripening fruit. My sister is no fool. She figured out a way to fox the starlings. Over a stalwart framework of wooden stakes she stretched a sturdy length of nylon net, carefully mitering the corners to assure a fowl-proof fit. She hummed a gay little song of carefree confidence as she heck and gone. My sister rushed into the garden. "Shoo, you naughty birds!" she cried. (This is not precisely what my sister said. I am sorry to confess that in her extremity she was driven to the utterance of a few choice obscenities that would have blasted the fusilage from a lesser bird than the starling.) The feathered fiends inserted berry-stained beaks beneath the net, flattened their well-fed carcasses and crept lewdly on their bulging black bellies below the ineffectual barricade to fly insolently into the peach tree where from a safe and defiant distance they crudely commented upon my sister's actions, appearance and ancestry. All but one. This particular starling, larger and uglier than any of the others, clung tenaciously to a huge, half-eaten strawberry which he ultimately dropped as he wriggled reluctantly from the promised land. He halted fearlessly a mere 15 or 20 inches from my squatting, screaming sister. He gazed at her in a cold and superior departed in the early morning for manner, five minutes every morning before Every Saturday Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Janelle Johnson of Shelton her place of employment.

June 14, 1973 with the berries. I insist that she should take a birds-eye view of the situation. All winter long she has supplied feed for these voracious creatures. I am certain that the starlings now wonder at the eccentricity which prompts her to playfully bury in the soil the seeds that she heretofore provided in easily accessible feeders. I have advise' her that even a starling would cringe in terror at the sight of a concrete owl, but my sister feels that the display of one would be not quite cricket. "It would be downright mean," she declares, "to set up a birdbath to lure them and a concrete owl to scare them!" This, of course, is an excellent example of my sister's somewhat biased thinking. She sees no parallel in her present practice of seduction with the succulent strawberry, attempt to foil with the not-too-frustrating net, and ultimate routing of the rowdy thieves with well-aimed blows and abusive shouting. Perhaps, as a last resort, she will protect her garden as I do mine. I simply stand out there for Degree woJ Theodore F.
