about New Haven, as the Ijlack-throated Green Warbler. In 

 the fields on the east shore birds of the open abound, while on 

 the Lake itself ducks of different species together with gulls 

 may be found in the right season. 



The Lake is best reached by taking the trolley to East 

 Haven green and walking from there. C. H. P.
