For the benefit of teachers it may be stated that during 

 the winter months some of these birds are as abundant in 

 and about the City as the first fist of Permanent Residents, 

 viz. —the Scaup or Blackhead Duck, very common in the 

 harbor, Colonial Lake, etc. ; Clapper Rail or ' 'Marsh Hen, ' ' shot 

 by thousands in the marshes; Myrtle Warbler, as common 

 outside the city limits as the English Sparrow within; Cat- 

 bird and Cedar Waxwing in the City and Meadow Lark in 

 the fields.
