series of short articles about the 1
birds of the county. These Articles, i
written by James Hutchins, are
published in order that the readers ]
of this paper may more easily
identify our native birds. \ It is
suggested that the school children

grayish line through the
center; there is a grayish
line over each eye; the
breast is streaked with
brown and there is a dark
brown, spot in the center;
there are no white bars on
the wings; it flies with a
peculiar-vibration or pump
ing of the tail.
This is probably the har
diest of our songbirds,
freest of venpin, and is
found in great numbers; It
sings during every month
of the year, in all kinds of
weather, day and night.
The Eastern Song Spar r
row is one of our most de
sirable birds econmically
and one of our most de
lightful songsters one of
Nature’s greatest suc
cesses. . -

basketball team because of
playing tips I read in THE
AMERICAN BOY.”
