THE MYRTLE WARBLER. 



There is a member of the Warbler family 

 common in the East (but rarer here), which we 

 might mistake for the Audubon's, should we 

 some day happen upon him. It is the Myrtle 

 Warbler, the distinguishing marks being that 

 the latter has a white throat instead of a yellow 

 one, blackish sides of the head, and not so much 

 white on the wings. 



Summer resident. 



THE SKYLARK. 



General Description : 



Upper parts : light brownish, with slight tawny 

 tinge. 



Under parts : not different from upper. 



Length, 7 to 7.5 inches. 

 Found in the open meadows. 



The Skylark is an imported bird, to be sure, 

 but is sufficiently numerous in some parts of 

 Oregon to attract attention and minister to the 

 joy of many people. No bird in the world has 

 been so much the theme of poets, or so much 

 the object of enthusiastic admiration. Its fame 

 has gone out through all the world, and multi- 

 tudes of people who have never seen the bird
