Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

     People living near Fox Lake have several times this spring noticed a white blackbird among others of its species flying about the marshy places which abound in that region. The bird is reported to be absolutely white with the exception of the regular red spot which is on the wings of all males. Last summer a white fledging was said to have been reared in one of the sloughs, departing southward in the autumn with its fellows. It is evident that this is the same bird returning fully matured to the scene of its first flight.
