BIRDS AND FLOWERS. 



Blackburnian, lived in the spruces on the west side 

 of the Pumping Station all through the middle of 

 May. His orange-throated compeer, the Blackbur- 

 nian, was frequently seen there too, also the Canadian. 

 The latter \s necklace seems a little scrimped after one 

 has seen the magnificent trailing pendants of the mag- 

 nolia. The black-poll and the Wilson's (the latter 

 might be called the black-crowned) were numerous in 

 our garden thickets last week, while all these and 

 other warblers could be found on the western side of 

 White Park.
