16 Wyoming Birds. 



end of each local list concerning the new or interesting 

 points contained in it. The first list in the bulletin includes 

 all the birds which are known to occur in the state, and 

 immediately following it a hypothetical list will be found. 

 Particular attention is called to the former list because it 

 contains an account of the food and nesting habits of the 

 various families and should furnish valuable information to 

 anyone who cares to learn what any particular bird feeds 

 upon. Finally it is hoped that this bulletin will succeed in 

 calling the attention of citizens of the state to the value of 

 the birds and thereby arouse a sentiment which will lead to 

 their better protection, not necessarily through law, but 

 through a kindlier feeling of appreciation. 



RECOMMENDATIONS. 



The laws of the state are good and are quite sufficienf 

 if enforced. Lawless people should be made to feel inse- 

 cure when they violate the statute quoted below. Public 

 sentiment is a good thing to make a law a living force. 



Little can be accomplished by multiplying laws, but a 

 great deal can be done to attract birds to the 'home. Birds 

 do not like to stay where cats are numerous. They will go 

 where food and water are to be had and where there are 

 trees suitable for shelter and nesting.
