Baltimore and Orchard Orioles 
Beautiful, sweet voiced orioles love the scarlet fruit 
of the choke cherry and purple mulberries. Either is 
eaten in preference to ox-heart or other garden cherries. 
Juneberries, wild blackberries and elderberries, also, are 
greatly relished. 
Goldfinch 
In late summer goldfinches frequent that part of 
the garden in which the suntlowers grow. They like the 
black and white seeds befter than any other food, and 
feed on them throughout the fall and winter. No pret~ 
tier sight can be seen, im early fall, than that of a flock 
of these bright yellow birds clinging to the brown faces 
of the great blossoms. When sunflower seeds are not 
obtainable, the seed of bachelor's buttons, chickory, cos- 
mos and hollyhocks calls them. 
Fiiicker 
This golden-winged member of the woodpecker 
family is fond of a large variety of fruit. In late summer 
he may be found feeding on choke cherries and sour gum, 
while the berries of mountain ash, bayberry and wax 
myrtle are greatly enjoyed in winter. Barberry, buck- 
thorn, red cedar, black cherry, choke cherry, Virginia 
creeper, dogwood, elderberry, wild grape, sour gum, hack- 
berry, hawthorn, holly, J uneberry, juniper, mulberry, 
pokeberry, smilax, spicebush and sumac are eaten at 
various seasons.
