WINTER BIRDS 



Every one knows that the country is full of birds during 

 the migrations ; but we do not all realize how many birds 

 are to be seen in winter. 



The following lists from Portland, Connecticut, Wash- 

 ington, D. C., and St. Louis, Missouri, suggest what we 

 may expect to find in our own neighborhoods. 



The list from Portland has been kindly supplied by Mr. 

 John H. Sage ; that from Washington, by Mr. William 

 Palmer ; and that from St. Louis, by Mr. Otto Widmann. 1
