THE OOLOGIST 



Tree Sparrow — On a winter's tramp 

 more of this species is seen than any 

 other but one must go outside the city 

 limits. A winter visitant found occa- 

 sionally on the Christy Park hiddside. 



Chipping Sparrow — Breeds in the 

 residential portions of the city. 



Field Sparrow — Anyone who gath- 

 ers trailing arbutus in the spring can- 

 not help but notice the singing of the 

 Field Sparrows on the open hillsides. 

 They are later found in dry hot fields 

 and meadows.
