Bird Life of a City Garden 



By Herbert Ravenel Sass 



The following is a list of the species of birds that I 

 have seen in my garden in the southwestern part of the 

 city. To be exact, I should state that the list includes 

 some species — fifteen in number — which have never been 

 seen to alight in the garden, but which have been ob- 

 served flying over it. With the exception of five species, 

 the list is based on records made during 1902, '03, '04, '05, 

 and '06. These five — the red-tailed hawk, the bald eagle, the 

 ^ bob-white, the woodcock, and the brown pelican — were ob- 

 O} served prior to 1902 and, with the probable exception of 



I ; 



,^ * Articles on this subject will appear in the Bulletin from time to time. This, the first 



of the series, is written by a member of the Natural History Society and should stimulate 



the interest, not only of students, but of every lover of bird life.— Editor.
