two of these birds, a male and a female, were seen in the 

 garden. They remained several days, being last observed 

 November 2. These are the only occasions when I have 

 seen this rare species in the garden. 



84. Tufted Titmouse, — Observed only once in the gar- 

 den — October 29, 1906. It is strange that a bird, so com- 

 mon in the woods near the city, should never have been ob- 

 served in the garden before. 



85. Golden-crowned Kinglet. — A cold-weather bird. A 

 rather erratic visitor to the garden from November to 

 April, sometimes common for days at a time, sometimes 

 seen only once or twice in an entire season. 



86. Ruby-crowned Kinglet. — A common autumn and 

 winter visitor, much more often seen than the preceding 

 species. Commonest during severe weather. 



87. Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. — A rare April visitor. 



88. Hermit Thrush.— An occasional visitor during 

 autumn and winter. 



89. American Robin. — A rare winter visitor, coming 

 only in the coldest weather. January and February are 

 the robin months. 



90. Bluebird. — A rather rare spring visitor, occasion- 

 ally coming to the garden in late March, April, and May.
