A flock of at least 300 Waxwings was seen at Floral Park one day in 

 September feeding on the frnit-of the wild cherry. 



More Bluebirds have been seen at Floral Park this autumn than for 

 any season in many years. 



The following is a list af the birds observed at Wading River on May 

 6th while taking a morning drive of a few hours: 



Robin English Sparrow 



Chipping Sparrow Song Sparrow 



Whippoorillw Field Sparrow 



Goldfinch House Wren 



Parula Warbler Carolina Wren 



Black and White Warbler Oveubird 

 Towhee Blue Jay 



Catbird Great Crested Flycatcher 



Kingbird Crow 



Purple Grackle Red-tailed Hawk 



Brown Thrasher Chickadee 



Phoebe Bluebird 



Downy Woodpecker 



English Sparrows Decreasing 



THERE are fewer English Sparrows at Floral Park this summer than at 

 any time during the last fifteen years. The difference is so marked 

 that nearly everyone notices it and speaks of it. It also appears that this 

 bird has nested very little during the past season. We would like to know 

 if the readers of The Warbler have noticed any change in the number of 

 Sparrows in their section.
