which find homes in the numerous new houses I have built for 

 bird lovers in various parts of town. Five of these I erected in 

 the spring of 1902, and all were occupied by several pair of 

 birds, — a half dozen pairs nesting in each of the two houses 

 I erected in the very centre of town. 



A carefully kept record of observations on the birds and 

 their habits since the colony was established, was found to be in- 

 valuable in the preparation of this paper.
