LITTLE STOBIEB OF ANIMALS.
Mrs. Woodcock and the Inquisitive
Man—Woodpeckers Outwitted.
Front the New York Bun.
Scranton. Sept. 30.—While Silas J.
Lambert of Ransom township was tramp
ing across a piece of marshy land on
Farmer W. D. Htever’s place last spring a
female woodcock fluttered out of a thicket
almost directly ahead of him, ran along on
the ground only a tew feet beyond his
reach, and dappled her wings as though they
were too weak for her to use in flight. The
bird appeared to have been hurt so badly
that sbe could not rise more than a foot or
s i, aud Lambert Chased her up aud tried to
catch her. Very limp and partially dis
abled as she apparently was, tne wo jdcock
kept just far enough in front of Lambert
not to let him touch her with his fingers,
and whenever be mode a dash at her sbe
fluttered over tbe tops of the bushes aud
dropped to the ground a few yards away,
seeini g to have hardly strength enough lett
to take her another foot. Lambert thought
he was surely going to catch her, but when
be bud got bis baud within a few inches of
her tail the woodcock api<ea:ei to make a
great effort to fly, and managed to flutter
out ot his reach.
Sbe did this four or five times, and Lam
bert became encouraged and continued to
follow her. There were plenty of biding
places all along, but tbe woodcock did not
attempt to secrete herself, and Lambert
said he wondered at it. After he had fol
io aed her in vain for several rods, the
dreadfully sick bird got well in an instant,
gathered herself together in no time, and
shot out of sight like an arrow. It then
occurred to Lambert that he bad heard of
bit ds pretending to be lame and nearly
ready to die, in order to lead persons away
from their nests, and he came to the conclu
sion that tbe mother woodcock had fooled
him nicely.
He had been very much iotereste 1 in the
bird’s movements up to the time that she
had darted out of sight so suddenly, and,
desiring to see whether she had flown back
to the spot from which he had scared her
up, he cautiously retrace 1 his steps and
looked around for her. For two |or three
minutes he got no glimpse of the woodcock,
but all at once sbe appeared on tbe ground,
and he couldn’t tell which way she Pad
come. Immediately the woodcock again
acted as if she was all played out, and,
again Lambert chased her, and tried to
catch her. This time she led him a little to
the right of the former course, and she took
good care not to let him get a.iy nearer
than before. Suddenly the bird darted
from his line of vision, aud Lambert ran
back to tbe spot with the determination of
finding the watchful woodcock’s nest if pos
sible.
She wasn’t anywhere to be seen and Lam
bert pulled his collar up, lay down behind a
log and peered over it. He had lain there
quite a while without seeing any signs of
the bird, when all of a sudden there was a
dark, flash-like movement, and something
struck him in the corner of his left eye and
came within a quarter of an inch of putting
his eye out. It was the woodcock’s pointed
bill that had bit him, and when he arose the
angry bird darted at his face again. She
was protecting her little home to the best of
her ability, aud Lambert quickly made up
his mind tnat it was noue of his business
where her nest was, aud hastened away.
On isaac H. Casper’s farm, near Wyaln
sing, red-headed woodpeckers fairly
swarmed while tho cherry crop lasted this
summer. The vigorous birds devoured lots
of the fruit on the spot, and carried large
quantities away to their nesting places, and
they soon got to be such a pest that Farmer
Casper was obliged to put a check on their
destructive habits. He hated to kill tbe
handsohie and cheerful birds, out he wanted
a few of the cherries for his own use, and
he thought ho would see if he couldn’t stop
tho havoc without slaughtering tho winged
cherry thioves. He noticed that the wood
peckers never flew among ttie limbs until
after they had alighted in the trunk and
pecked around a spell, and he got a lot of
poles that were taller than the cherry trees,
hoisted a pole among the branches of each
tree, rested the butt on the ground, and lot
several feet stick out above the topmost
twigs The woodpeckers soon got in the
notion of clinging to the upper ends of tho
poles before they made a raid on the cher
ries. aud while they were in that attitude
Farmer Casper played thorn a trick. The
moment he saw one of the woodpeckei s
alight on the side of a pole he ran under the
tree with the ax, hit the pole as hard as he
could on the opposite side from that on
which the bird was clinging, and theu
jumped from under the boughs to watch
the result. The sudden blow with the head
of the ax invariably stunned the wood
pecker and made it tumble to the ground,
and before it had had a chance to come to
its senses again Farmer Casper bad picked
it up and put it into a basket. In this way
he captured three or four dozan wood
peckers inside of a fortnight. Noue of the
birds were injured much by the fall, and
Farmer Casper didn’t kill a single one.
He kept thb whole flock in confinement un
til the cherry crop had been gathered, feed
ing them on stuff that was worth a good
deal less than his prime oxhearts, and theu
he selected two of the haudsomest for pets,
and turned the rest loose.
