eating birds. The birds in this section of the Bird-House 
are especially interesting to the teachers of pupils of the

The large circular flying cage, at the outer corner of the 
Glass Court, is filled with Robins, Bluebirds, Thrushes and 
Woodpeckers which winter there very comfortably, be- 
cause they are fed and watered, and sheltered from the 
worst storms. 
Along the western wall of the Large Bird-House, outside, 
fourteen large cages are filled with members of the Crow 
and Blackbird Families (Corvidac and Icteridac), such as 
the Ravens, Crows, Jays, Magpies, Blackbirds, Meadow- 
larks, Cowbirds and Grackles, beside which appear our old 
friends the Yellow-Shafted Flicker and Red-Headed Wood- 
pecker.
