A PUZZLED SHRIKE 



To the Editor, 



Dear Sir: You were interested in my bird experience of last year, so I 

 take the liberty of writing you once more. Evidently winter is being felt 

 by the birds, as my canary was again attacked by a hungry forager for food. 

 Last year, you will remember, a sparrow hawk tried to get him but was foiled 

 by a glass in the window. This year it was a sleek gray and black butcher- 

 bird. He swept down upon the window where my canary was hanging, then 

 flew to a tree within three yards of the house, where I could see him looking 

 perplexedly at the bird through the glass, wondering why he could not reach 

 the dainty morsel so temptingly within sight. He dashed down upon the 

 window four times, then flew away, doubtless seeking English sparrows. 

 which, though not so rare a morsel, would be easier to catch. I wondered if 

 any of your Audubon readers have had similar experiences or if our being 

 on a hill overlooking a lake gave him more unobstructive view than usual. 



Sincerely yours. 



Faith A. Capeles. 

 Haverhill, Mass.
