A METHOD OF OBSERVING BIRDS 



BY DR. G. CLYDE FISHER 



[Note. — In the spring of 191 2, Dr. Fisher, while inspecting woodland near Demarest, 

 Georgia, became interested in the work of the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. The accom- 

 panying picture shows an apple tree which the Sapsucker had quite thoroughly riddled. 

 Dr. Fisher says: "I thought that very little damage had been done to that particular 

 tree, but the vitality of the tree may have been more seriously affected by this work 

 than I thought. Anyhow, the tree was quite old and nearly dead."
