Souvent la présence de ces fruits vont garder les oiseaux à l'écart de cerises cultivées, et d'autres fruits que nous préférons qu'ils ne pas toucher. Les conifères fournissent un approvisionnement alimentaire directe qu'à un petit nombre d'oiseaux, et les espèces qui mangent ces cônes sont rares et irrégulières en apparence-tels que la belle et à ailes blanches, le Bec-croisé des sapins et Durbec.

. Bulletin (Pennsylvania Game Commision), no. 9. Game protection; Birds. 48 the attracting- of unusual bird visitors. Often the presence of such fruits will keep the birds away from cultivated cherries, and other fruits which we prefer they leave untouched. Coniferous trees furnish a direct food supply to only a few birds, and the species which eat such cones are rare and irregular in ap- pearance—such as the beautiful White-winged and Red Crossbills, and Pine Grosbeak. Cedar berries are much appreciated by wax- wings and occasionally other species, and the presence of Gold- finches and Pine Siskins about hemlocks and tamaracks indicate they may be finding special food there. The principal value of evergreens to the birds, however, is that they form excellent shelter. Always are evergreen clumps a favorite rendezvous, and numerous winter birds prefer such places to almost any other situation. Trees which attract birds on account of their fruit w^hich is de- sirable as food include the various cultivated small fruits, Russian Mulberry, Red-Haw, Mountain Ash, Dogwood, Wild-Cherry, Box Elder, Beech, White Ash, and others. Birds may seriously damage certain small fruits in yard or orchard occasionally, but if such trees as mulberries are a ailable most birds will flock to them for food in preference to all others. Among shrubs which furnish food for birds may be mentioned Elder-Berry, Black-Haw, Spice-Bush, Sumac, Shad Bush, Japanese liarberry, Wild Rose, High-climbing Cranberry, Privet, Wild Rasp- berry, Snowberry, and others. Vines such as Wild Grape, Bitter- sweet, Virginia Creeper, Honeysuckle and others are sought. And certain annual berries, such as the Poke Berry, are highly prized. CLEARING OF LAND The occasional weed patch or clump of briars along the fence means more to the local bird population than most of us realize. While we all enjoy the appearance of lands which are well cared for, we should remember that the birds must have places of refuge if we exp
