 Nu Ci84 Chickadee and Junco at "Hood." Ithaca. (January 1914) 



Allen 



Such a hood is an attractive feeding shelf. It is made of the 

 top of a barrel, hoops and a piece of cloth, covered with ever- 

 greens and placed on a post. 



Nu Ci86 Adult Perched on the Hand of Prof. Arthur A. Allen; 

 String Connected with Camera. Ithaca. (December 31, 

 1913) 



This picture shows the comparative friendliness of the chicka- 

 dee. Note what kindness to the birds will do for the bird 

 student. Professor Allen made this picture by pulling the string 

 in his left hand. 



Nu Ci88 Adult Taking Food from the Hand of a Lady. Ithaca. 

 (February 1916) Allen 



Chickadees are the most easily tamed of all of our native 

 birds. 



Nu Ci9 Chickadee and Junco on End of Old Log. Ithaca. (Janu- 

 ary 1914) Allen 



Our native birds seldom feed together. Here the chickadee 

 is eyeing the junco preparatory to snatching some food while 

 the junco's back is turned. 



Nu Ci94 Chickadee and Female House Sparrow on Feeding Station. 

 (February 1914) Allen 



The chickadee has stepped in to snatch a piece of peanut while 

 another bird is present. The sparrow in this case makes no 

 effort to drive him away. 



Nu Ci96 Adult on Sunflower. Ithaca. (August 4, 1917) Allen 



Use this picture to emphasize the fact that while this species 

 usually retreats to the woodlands and swamps as summer 

 approaches yet some representatives remain near habitations.
