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 Ictcridac), such as 

 the Ravens, Crows, Jays, Magpies, Blackbirds, Meadow- 

 larks, Cowbirds and Crackles, beside which appear our old 

 friends the Yellow-Shafted Flicker and Red-Headed "Wood- 

 pecker.
