During the autumn migration this bird is the Reedbird or Ricebird 
Range'. North and South America 
illegal to possess aigrette plumes, and henceforth the 
law will be so enforced. This is the successful cul-

A few other birds of striking plumage are the Blue- 
jay, the Bluebird, the Baltimore Oriole, the Scarlet Tan-

songs and the beauty of their plumage, we may consider 
the value of birds in dollars and cents.
