THE WEST VAN NEWS Birds in Our Gardens B R Harrison No. 6 During the last week we have been hearing quite a lot about Musical Festivals and those of us who have had the opportunity of attending these performances have derived a great amount of pleasure and musical education, but I would recommend some of my young readers to endeavour to attend some of Nature's mus- ical festivals which are in pro- gress these bright summer morn- ings. It will mean that you will have to rise a little earlier in the morning than usual as these per- formances begin at the break of day and the first performer that you will no doubt hear will be the Robin as he invariably sings the overture and as the twilight gives place to the rising sun, one by one of other members of the choir join in, some are really good singers but others just chirpers, but all necessary to make the harmony complete. Now a regular choral perform- ance is in progress and one could readily imagine that each per- former was competing with his fellow member for the 100 mark. Unfortunately there are not as many adjudicators as there ought to be at these early morn- ing festivals but I have no doubt that bird lovers would be just as varied in allotting their awards as the gentlemen who have been judging the singers and musici- ans in the city recently. How- ever we can all be adjudicators at these bird concerts in West Vancouver and if I should be asked to award the highest marks for the best woodland soloist it would undoubtedly go to the Black Headed Grosbeak, as I consider he has the most beautiful flutelike notes of any of our garden birds. I must tell you that the Gros- beak does not look a bit like a singer, for as his name would in- dicate, he has a very strong thick beak, which would serve admirable as a nutcracker, but regardless of this, his powerful song can be heard at a great dis- tance, even whilst I am sitting in the garden writing these not- es I can hear a Grosbeak singing, fully a block away. I find it so difficult to describe the song in writing and were I to try I am afraid that I would make a much worse attempt than Bechstein did when writing the song of the Nightingale, which appeared in my notes a few weeks ago. Try and remember if you have heard a bird in your garden or in the next lot with a very pow- erful song, not a warble but a real thrill song, sung in rather a jerkey manner, if you have I have no doubt that it was the Black Headed Grosbeak to which you were listening, and the very next time that you hear him, just go up as close as you can on tip toe and see if you cannot get a good look at him, for he is really a fine looking fellow with a black head, as far back as where his ears should be with a neck and breast a sort of orange red color and his wings have splashes of white on them. The bird is not so large as a robin but a little larger than a sparrow. This is not the only member of the Grosbeak family that we have in West Vancouver for there is another the Evening Grosbeak but as he only visits us during the winter I will prob- ably be telling you about this bird at some other time. Now I hope that you will look out for the Black Headed Grosbeak and I am sure you will agree with me that he takes first place in our Bird Festivals. Well Known Couple to be Married Mr. and Mrs. T. Garland, "the Bungalow," Marine Drive, an- nounce the approaching marri- age of their daughter, Edith May, to Kenneth Howard Robin- son, son of Mrs. M. B. Robinson, 13th and Clyde. Both Miss Gar- land and Ken Robinson are well known in West Vancouver, and the announcement will be of great interest to their many friends. The ceremony will take place at St. Stephen's Church, on Monday, 27th June, at 8 p.m., Rev. A. Harding Priest, officiat- ing. Baseball 2 The West Vancouver Inter- mediate Baseball team defeated Chown Adanacs 26 tol last Mon- day at the New Ambleside Park. On Thursday they meet Grand- view United, the only team that has managed to slip over a win on the local boys. The game is to be played on Cambie Street grounds and should be the most interesting of the season. SERVING AND WOOD- WORK DISPLAY On Friday, June 17, the an- nual exhibition of sewing and woodwork done by the Public and High School pupils of West Vancouver will be held at the Pauline Johnson school from 2.30 to 4.30 and 7.30 to 9.30. Refreshments will be served and it is hoped all parents and friends interested will turn out. MUSICAL CONCERT The musical concert put on by the boys of the IVest Vancouver Intermediate Baseball team last Tuesday night was very success- ful and those who turned out were treated to a very fine and varied program. The local art- ists, Miss Anne Ritchie and Mr. Aubrey Clarke, vocalists, and Mr. C. H. Harper, pianist, were very popular and each delighted the audience with several num- bers. Mr. Tucker and Holland who play the violin and piano- accordian, made quite a hit and were forced to play several en- cores. The Hawaiian Quartet was very pleasing and interest- ing with their songs, music and dancing. The boys would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who helped to make this concert such a success. P. T. A. The regular monthly meeting will take place in the form of a social afternoon in the Pauline . Johnson School, Tuesday at 3.30. As this is the last meeting of the season it is hoped that all parents and friends will take this opportunity and try to be pres- ent. A musical programme has been arranged.
