SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT. 63 
species of ducks—Wood Duck, Widgeon, Mallard,and Red-Head 
—were in the Park all the fall, frequently flying from pond to 
pond, and several wild Wood Ducks are spending the winter on 
the Aquatic Mammals Pond. 
Green, Black-Crowned, Night, and Great Blue Herons are very 
often found in the Park, generally near their relatives in the 
great Flying Cage. Thus the Park is rapidly becoming an un- 
excelled place for studying many of our rarer native birds, large 
and small, at close range in addition to the advantages which a 
bird-lover may derive from the birds in the collections. 
The erection in 1903 of the large house for perching birds, 
the plans for which are now nearly complete, will not only afford 
great relief to the congested condition of the bird collections but 
will afford an opportunity to bring together a great number of 
forms now quite unrepresented in the Park. 
The following is a full statement of the bird collections on 
hand on December 31st:
