Moth and green worms plucked from 
their destructive work, the horse-fly 
snatched, no doubt, from mid-air while 
on its errand of torment. 
While the photographer lingered and 
viewed this interesting scene, the male 
bird made its appearance and rested on 
a branch nearby, and such a pretty little 
fellow — glossy black throat, golden yel- 
low surrounding the eyes and covering 
each cheek. An insignia of two white 
bars adorned each wing as if to denote 
his rank as head of the family, his outer 
tail feathers were white, these being his 
most conspicuous markings, and he, like 
the mother bird, seemed to show no fear 
for the camera or photographer, and ap- 
parently satisfied that everything was 
quite right, took to wing and darted 
down among the pines. 
Securing his camera, the photographer 
now descended to the ground and, very 
much impressed by this sylvan scene, 
softly wended his way from this sanc- 
tum of the birds. 
The father bird he saw again when 
leaving the grove, faithfully attending 
a little one that had fallen from the 
nest. 
A little later we visited this place 
again and found the young had aban- 
doned the nest and were scattered here 
and there, but still well cared for by the 
parent birds until they would become 
full-fledged and able to make their de- 
parture to the Southland. Let us show 
our full appreciation for our feathered 
friends by protecting and assisting them 
in all ways possible, for they make our 
hearts glad. 
Naturalists tell us that these birds be- 
come greatly excited if you appear near 
the nest. In this case the birds were 
quite the opposite, and showed no agita- 
tion whatever in the photographer’s ex- 
perience with them.

ing. His head was hidden when he 
lowered it to feed but enough of his 
shoulder was visible above the grassy 
ridge for a fatal shot. 
Kneeling down and aiming carefull)'', 
I fired and one shot knocked him over. 
At the report of the gun six fine rams 
rushed up within range, halted, and 
gazed at us and their dead companion. 
The leader of the flock was a large 
heavy-horned specimen, but I now had 
all the rams I needed so I just* remained 
motionless and admired their graceful 
actions as they passed out of sight over 
the hill. 
When we reached the hill, the happy 
feeling of success was somewhat tinged 
with regret at the death of such a fine 
creature. What a handsome expression 
this noble head possessed, with its deli- 
cately modelled, sensitive nose, and the 
large rich orange-colored eyes which 
still seemed to hold the spark of life. 
One could not help admiring this white 
monarch of the mountains, the grandest 
game animal in North America.
