The Missing Birds.

The bluebirds, yellow birds and black
birds seem to have disappeared from
western New York this year. Reports
from careful ornithologists in many
counties show that these birds have not
appeared this spring as usual Walter
Burke of Batavia writes: Where are
the blackbirds? These birds in past
years congregated in large numbers i'll a
little grove near my residence and filled
the air with their melodious singing,
but now it is all hushed and still "
The Livingston Republican says
1.-THE absence of bluebirds has been
commented ON by several papers, and,
come to think of it, we haven't noticed
any bluebirds or yellow birds either,
but the orioles are flashing through the
foliage in considerable numbers and oc-
casionally trilling a few bars of song.
