TENTH ANNUAL REPORT. 65 



nearly every species is rendered recognizable by the extensive 

 series of bird-portrait labels that have been provided. 



Judging from the nest-building operations that already are 

 under way in the new building, many of the birds feel thoroughly 

 at home and contented. The collection of pigeons and doves is 

 quite large and interesting. The "happy family" of miscellaneous 

 Orders and species in the central flying cage is a very pleasing 

 spectacle, and the general good health and happiness of all the 

 birds in the new building furnish convincing testimony of the 

 intelligent and painstaking care which they receive from Curator 

 Beebe and Keepers Stacey and Van Zandt. 



The list of pheasants now in the new Pheasant Aviary is well 

 worthy of permanent record here.
