has always seemed a favorite haunt for birds, and when it was 

 smaller, so that it was entirely in view from the window, Mrs. Mead 

 used to notice so manj- species coming and going that she finallj- 

 decided to keep a record of them, but the best days for doing so 

 were gone. The tree was rapidly pushing skyward, and the upper 

 branches were hidden by the foliage of the lower, but here is the 

 record as it stands to-day, and it is not a bad one for a single tree,

 Goldfinch, Pine Siskin, White-throated Sparrow, Chipping Sparrow, 

 Junco, Song Sparrow, Indigo Bird, Red-eyed Vireo, Yellow-throated 

 Vireo, Blue-headed Vireo, Black and White Warbler, Myrtle War- 

 bler, Northern Yellowthroat, American Redstart, Catbird, Brown 

 Creeper, White-breasted Nuthatch, Chickadee, Hermit Thrush, 

 Robin, Bluebird.
