. Bird lore . Then I went to the beach, arid when I got back there was not a single birdin the neighborhood. After waiting a long time I saw a Junco. Then I put outfood, and in a few days there were about twenty back again, for we have countednearly that many. Then came Song Sparrows and, once, a Towhee. Then againcame the troublesome English Sparrow, and I abandoned the lunch-counterfor a while. When I once again started in the Juncos and a Song Sparrowcame back, and to-day the Towhees. On the whole, I think a food-station isa thing of great pleasure and advise others to try it.—Tom McCamant
