STOCKBRIDGE BIRDS 
In advance of the exhibition of lo¬ 
cal fauna at the school house on Sept. 
3, and Mr. Winthrop Packard’s lec¬ 
ture on the same afternoon, we are 
glad to be able to print a list of birds i 
noted in Stockbridge throughout the I 
year, a list compiled by Ralph Hoff¬ 
mann. We have also a list of birds 
noted here in June, July, August and 
September, by William Brewster, but 
unfortunately not the space to print 
it. Mr. Brewster’s list contains 1)1 
birds, Mr. Hoffmann’s 150. The lat¬ 
ter observer calls the red-breasted 
nuthatch a migrant, but last winter 
at least one pair remained from De¬ 
cember till late March. Doubtless 
other readers can contribute examples 
of variation from habit among the 
birds here listed. Who has seen a 
wood duck recently, for instance, des¬ 
cribed by Mr. Hoffmann as “former¬ 
ly a summer resident”? The editor 
saw one, with a little flotilla of young, 
near the golf club bridge last summer, 
but has haunted the same spot since 
in vain.
