Collections are made up to provide food throughout the year. Those fruits not taken until late winter are often more valuable than 
those taken immediately upon ripening. Consideration has been given to food value and ease of growing on Long Island. 
Many good plants have been excluded: Mulberry because of it’s size, vines and Blackberries as needing special situations. Flowering 
Dogwood, Gray Birch, Hemlock, Cedar and Pine as being commonly planted on Long Island. All provide food or food and shelter. 
We will be glad to furnish supplementary lists. 
Personal knowledge, generally coupled with some casual reference, has had to suffice for some of the garden shrubs. All other plants 
have been checked in the lists in two authoritative and interesting bird books; “Wild Bird Guests” by Mr. Ernest Harold Baynes and 
“Birds in the Garden” by Miss Margaret McKenny and in U. S. Department of Agriculture Bulletins. Miss McKenny states that her 
plant list is based on the work of W. L. McAtee, Technical Adviser of the U. S. Bureau of Biological Survey and acknowledgement 
is made to Mr. McAtee, among others, in “Wild Bird Guests”.
