would eventually bring 
them into the point of the 
funnel, taking them into 
the upper part of the trap. 
When they reached the top 
of the trap, there was an 
opening into the receiving 
box which appeared to 
have free access to the 
outside world; and when 
the bird attempted to fly 
through this it would come 
—o up against a piece of glass 
Photo by Wm. I. Lyon and while fluttering against 
BLack AND WHITE WARBLER the glass, would slide down 
the shute into the receiv- 
ing box below. The receiving box is detachable so it may be taken 
down to conveniently handle the birds in banding. By close observa- 
tion in the second picture you will notice the glass and the shute. The 
glass is 8x1o inches. The outside measurements of the trap are 12 
inches long by 15 inches high and to inches wide. This leaves one inch 
of wood each side of an eight-inch glass and the upper deck has an 
opening of five inches, so that the ten-inch glass is five inches above 
and five inches below the floor in the upper part of the receiving box. 
We hope you will be able to follow this description and make a Wood- 
pecker trap so that you may do some banding about your own place. 
An interesting little stranger that comes to us each fall is the Tufted 
Titmouse. Last year was our first experience and we had just two of 
them in our traps. This fall again we have had two so far and they have 
been very interesting birds; 
one has repeated three or 
four times and we find 
that he is much more of a 
scrapper than the Chicka- 
dee ever thought of being. 
He bites and kicks and 
scratches all the time that 
he is in your hand, but by 
petting him considerably, 
we finally got him to sit 
still long enough to have 
feeepictute taken. The 
main part of getting him to 
sit still was to keep him photo by wm. I. Lyon
