Chickadees, Crows, Jays, Flickers, Downy Woodpeckers and
Brown Creepers have been present in greater or less numbers

  December Garden Birds.
  The birds seen in or flying over the garden during the
month are as follows: -
  1. Regulus satrapa.
  Twice on the 28th, Mr. Deane saw a pair flitting
 about in front of his window in the Museum.
  2. Parus atricapillus.
  Chickadees have been present through the month in
small numbers. The largest flock, one of six individuals,
was seen on the 17th. Though a lump a suet was hung in the
crab apple tree early in the month it was visited but three
times, once on the 26th, the 28th and the 29th, each time by
a single bird. The mild weather of December has not inter-
fered with their ordinary supply of food.
