Turned Red 2 EX-CONVICTS ARE IDENTIFIED IN 4 ROBBERIES A pair of men who have spent much of their lives in prison, and are on parole, were of Cook county- Mrs. Sterling says the thrasher has become lord of the roost, even chasing away blue jays, and is eating well on unf lower seed and cracked corn.

Reports also continue to come in of more meadow-larks, more mourning doves, and more red bellied woodpeckers.

W. Buhrmaster of Downers Grove for the fourth year, she says. With these we plan to conclude our reporting on the incidence of meadowlarks, doves, and red bellied wood peckers, even tho we have not begun to cover them all.

Maybe some have moved to this direction from the vicinity of La Salle. Miss Coughlin be- r.eves they have left her area because of a 'lack of natural food, resulting from last year's drouth. Bittersweet was scarce and there were no wild grapes, elderberries, or the various other seeds that comprise the diet of seed eating birds, she reports. 1 identified yesterday in four robberies, including one i in which a cab driver was shot Police identified the men as Leonard Parker, 43, who has spent 22 years in Joliet prison, mostly for robbery, and Ellis Saunders, 53, who has served 20 years in Joliet, also for robbery.
