HOW TO ATTRACT HIM ABOUT OUR HOMES 135 
A lady living in southern Ohio, who has for 
several years given a breakfast to the birds 
every day in winter, told me that her daily 
guests last season were hairy and downy wood- 
peckers, nuthatches, white and red-breasted, one 
young kinglet, a pair of chickadees, tufted tit- 
mice, blue jays, juncos, cardinal grosbeaks, Caro- 
lina wrens, and sparrows. 
This delightful company came regularly for 
breakfast, and to pay her, sang nearly through 
the season. 
In the latitude of New York there are about 
forty birds who spend the winter, and of course 
there are more as one goes south. In the 
Southern States, many of our northern birds 
may be studied in the winter.
