LOON, OR GREAT NORTHERN* DIVER, COLYMBUS GLACIALIS. 



and I did not feel much interest in him. He 

 apparently knew this, for he seemed uncon- 

 cerned and commenced " primping " his 

 feathers. He rubbed his head along his 

 back, tucked it under his wings, flapped 

 them, and for 20 seconds at a time had his 

 head half-buried in his side feathers. A load 

 of shot would have settled him before he 

 could have gotten his head into position for 

 diving. I went my way and he went his. 



I have noticed that loons usually do not 

 dive at once if fired at with a rifle and 

 missed, yet invariably they dive at the dis- 

 charge of a shot gun. French Canadian 

 hunters value the skin of the loon for gun 

 cases. 



The skin is tough and the feathers ex- 

 ceedingly thick and strong. Sometimes the 

 hunters make tobacco pouches from the up- 

 per part of the neck. 



A PUZZLE PHOTOGRAPH. 



There is another bird shown in this pict- 

 ure, besides the eagle. He is a familiar wood- 

 land neighbor everywhere, and is easily 

 identified in the picture when you once find 

 him. It requires a sharp eye and you may 

 need a magnifying glass to find him. 



Who can find him? You need not cut out 

 the picture in order to answer this question. 

 It will be easy to describe the location of the 

 bird when you find it. 



Sunday School Teacher: " Now boys can 

 any of you tell me why they threw Jonah 

 overboard? " 



Tommy: " Why, mum, because he was a 

 Jonah."
