Wild Bird Guests 



that the mountain ash with its persistent fruit 

 fed upon throughout the winter by flocks of 

 robins, cedar birds, grosbeaks, purple finches, 

 and others, may attract a greater number of 

 individuals than many of those species marked 

 with two asterisks; while the gray birch with 

 the winter flocks of goldfinches, redpolls, siskins, 

 juncos, etc., that feed upon its seeds, probably 

 attracts a far greater number of birds than some 

 of those species marked with three asterisks.
