SONG BIRDS.
Fema1s Vanity the Cause of Wholesa1.
Destruction.

Fema1s Vanity the Cause of Wholesale
Destruction.
The former wealth of bird music in
field and grove here in Connecticut
can not well be understood by those
who have grown up since the destruct-
i've warfare on birds began. It is a
wonder, in fact, not that so few, but
that any are left, when we consider
the variety of shapes in which disaster
overtakes our singing birds. Not to
mention the many thousands that are
destroyed in the egg OF nest by maraud-
ing boys and specimen" collectors,
the further destruction of the migrating
by dashing their lives out against the
lanterns Of an endless string of light
houses along the coast-for their jour
ney is mostly performed at nights
far larger than is generally supposed,
and would seem to be enough to de-
climate them. If we add to this the
ruthless wholesale slaughter of some
species-like the bobolink, for example
by gunners along the Delaware and
rivers further South, who devote the
birds to stews and pies, there need be
nc further looking for the u of the
marked dimin2Son of the most rollick-
ing and once very abundant songster
of our May and June grass fields. Yet
the Introduction of the moving ma
chine, with the earlier grass-cutting
that has accompanied it, supplies an
additional explanation of a part of the
general disappearance of the bobolink.
He is not found, as a songster, else
where than in these charming fields of
our North land in the s'perfect''
months of May and June, and his
peculiar rollicking, tinkling, swaggcr-
ing melody was one of the charms of
such scenes at that happiest time of the
year. Perhaps his determination can
not be stopped, but this wholesale
destruction of all sorts of song birds,
Including our finest singer, the brown
thrasher, and all just to supply feath-
cred ornaments for womcn's hats, is a
little too bad. If the women would
be content with the European sparrow,
now unfortunately naturalized in this
country, nobody would offer a word of
observation-disclosures Times.
