feeding empty box cars to feed and seemed to fly 
habits under the tracks of the cars without 
fear. They found plenty of wheat and

corn it would nibble small pieces off 
with its bill and swallow them. When 
it first found it it would fly to a 
short distance from the other so that 
they could not steal it. Sometimes 
another would come and snatch it away.

but a flatter note with an n sound in

a perfect voice. Soon after I heard 
another and the contrast was very mark¬ 
ed. Both were feeding busily.
