EXTRACTS FROM OUR MAIL BAG. 



I have put up two bird boxes, and am having some Tree Swallows 

 build in them. They are very tame. Samuel D. Robbins, 



Belmont, Mass. 



There is an English Sparrow around here that I see quite often. It 

 has two or three of its big wing feathers white, and one or two in its 

 tail. Don't you suppose it is a partial Albino? I saw a Song Sparrow 

 the other day with one of his long wing feathers white. The English 

 Sparrow shows more white when he flies. Alice Garland, 



Andover, Mass. 



A Meadow Lark staid with us all winter. A nest of Wilson's Snipe 

 was found near here about a year ago, with three eggs. I have seen 

 a partially albino Robin this year. John A. Parks, 



Shaftsbury, Mich.
