CALIFORNIA DESERT BIRDS FRED W. KOCH I shall never forget my first night on the desert beside a smouldering yucca fire, and the early morning awakening amidst these spiny desert trees. All about me were the songs of the purple finch, the desert sparrows, and the cactus wrens. But above all, in a class by itself, were the clear notes of Le Conte's thrasher, more than rival of the mockingbird, and a thousand times more to be appreciated in the desert waste. I could not find the singer, but a year later, when on a trip through the heart of the Colorado Desert, I came upon a veritable colony of these sweet singers, and soon spied a mother-bird trying to lure me from her nest in a palo verde tree. Many of the desert birds are light gray in color, matching almost completely the surrounding sand, and making it very difficult to distinguish them. But here and there a flash discloses an oriole or a hummingbird, whose brilliant plumage is only matched by the cactus bloom or the swaying branches of the Mexican ocotea, the flaming candlebush of the desert. Often these orioles of the deserts cross the mountains to the west, and almost anywhere amidst the rows of fan-palms at Riverside one can find the nests securely sewed to the underside of the broad fan leaves, perfectly sheltered from both sun and rain. Once in the Mojave Desert I was startled by the z-z-z-m, like the whir of a rifle-bullet, which whizzed passed my face, and, like a flash, a the west, and almost anywhere amidst the rows of fan-palms at Riverside one can find the nests securely sewed to the underside of the broad fan leaves, perfectly sheltered from both sun and rain. Once in the Mojave Desert I was startled by the z-z-z-m, like the whir of a rifle-bullet, which whizzed passed my face, and, like a flash, a black-throated hummingbird curved and, mounting again a hundred feet in the air, fell toward me with a buzzing roar calculated to make one dodge. Almost at my elbow I found the female on a downy little nest secure amidst the thorns of a prickly cactus. Two days before this I was standing on a bare knoll, when away in the distance I heard the call of poor-will, a cousin to the nighthawk and the whip-poor-will. I listened as the call was repeated again and again, when suddenly, from within ten feet of me, the mate left her eggs and flew away in the direction of the call. The eggs were the exact color of the yellow clay on which they rested, without a nest, unless a mere brushing of the gray dust and dried stems from the spot constituted such. The mottled mother could not be distinguished from a dried leaf, and so had escaped my attention. Some years ago I ran across a number of Panamint Indian boys out hunting with bows and arrows, and found that they had, together with other birds, a duck which they had killed on an alkali lake just west of Death Valley. This was the first duck I had ever seen in the desert, but later was much surprised at what I found at Owen's Lake, that remnant of the prehistoric inland sea which once covered a good part of Nevada and some of eastern California. Here I found the shores of the lake literally lined with dead ducks. I took pains to count some of them, and found one hundred and two lying in a space two hund- CATARRH ELY'S CREAM BALM FOR COLD IN CATARRH HEAD HAY-FEVER HEADACHE TRADE MARK ELY-BRO'S.
