BIRD SONG Continued from page 1.

Many of our singing birds may be easily identified by any one who carries in his mind the images which are presented in our remarkable pictures. See the birds at home, as it were, and hear their songs.

Those who fancy that few native birds live in our parks will be surprised to read the following list of them now visible to the eyes of so careful an observer as Mr. J. Chester Lyman.

“About the 20th of May I walked one afternoon in Lincoln Park with a friend whose early study had made him familiar with birds generally, and we noted the following varieties:

1		Magnolia Warbler.
2		Yellow Warbler.
3		Black Poll Warbler.
4		Black-Throated Blue Warbler.
5		Black-Throated Queen Warbler.
6		Blackburnian Warbler.
7		Chestnut-sided Warbler.
8		Golden-crowned Thrush.
9		Wilson’s Thrush.
10		Song Thrush.
11		Catbird.
12		Bluebird.
13		Kingbird.
14		Least Fly Catcher.
15		Wood Pewee Fly Catcher.
16		Great Crested Fly Catcher.
17		Red-eyed Vireo.
18		Chimney Swallow.
19		Barn Swallow.
20		Purple Martin.
21		Red Start.
22		House Wren.
23		Purple Grackle.
24		White-throated Sparrow.
25		Song Sparrow.
26		Robin.
27		Blue Jay.
28		Red-Headed Woodpecker.
29		Kingfisher.
30		Night Hawk.
31		Yellow-Billed Cuckoo.
32		Scarlet Tanager, Male and Female.
33		Black and White Creeper.
34		Gull, or Wilson’s Tern.

“On a similar walk, one week earlier, we saw about the same number of varieties, including, however, the Yellow Breasted Chat, and the Mourning, Bay Breasted, and Blue Yellow Backed Warblers.”

The sweetest songsters are easily accessible, and all may enjoy their presence.
