. American bird magazine, ornithology. Birds. 404 AMERICAN f\ Address communications for this department to Meg Merrythought, 156 Waterville Street, Waterbury, Ct. Dear Young Folks: • We bring to you greetings for December. What pleasant visits we have had in our corner with little friends scattered throughout all the states of our Union, and even over the Canadian borders. We hope that this month, which closes the second year of these Bird Chats, may be a milestone which shall mark progress in good fellow- ship between our young folks and out of door life, for such sympathy makes the life broader, and brings with it a great deal of fun, as many of you have discovered. We are grateful to the many lads and lasses who have given Uncle Sam messages to bear to this corner,—birding adventures, puzzles and words of good cheer. There is a chance this month for you to work a little problem in arithmetic. If the statement is true about the increase of the English Sparrow, how many will gather at the family reunion of one sparrow couple at Thanksgiving time? One of our readers sends a different view of the hummer in captivi- ty, perhaps some of you can give another instance. Another reader gives an interesting account of one of those curious accidents in Bird Land, which are more common than we may think. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas, I am Your friend, Meg Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Worcester, Mass. : C.
