WILD LIFE IN THE CITY.
Bird Visitors Attracted by Captives
in New York Geological Park.

IA AtS" VI NoOAOSASoA
The geological park not only af-
fords good opportunities for study
ing the habits of rare and curious for
eign birds, but, considering its small
area, such a place is almost un-
equalled for watching our wild native
birds at close range.
The sight of so many birds in close
proximity to mankind, flying I'M
harmed in the flying cages or walk
ing about their, ranges and swimming
on the various ponds, is fraught WITH
significance to the quick perceptions
Of wild birds, large and small. Their
keen intuiticns. says the New York
Tribune, and superior powers of in7
telligence tell them that such I'M;
wonted altruistic conditions cannot
fail to offer advantages.
The almost immediate recognition
Of their security in the park is re-
markable, and birds which seldom
show themselves within sight of civ
ilization have come again and again,
and exhibited a tamcness which leads
many: persons to think them escaped
birds.
\ visit Of Canada geese has &C.
CURED only cnce, but grcbes are more
regular visitors, and at each migra-
ton one or more species of these
featl5ered vanishing points are seen
swimming on the ponds. You see
a small bird with pointed beak, and,
on attempting to take a closer look,
you suddenly pcrceive-no bird at
all. 1t has not Owed or flown away,
but just apparently been absorbed by
the water. 1t isa wonderful rick-so
imperceptibly Submerging itself that
not a ripple marks theplacc-and far
away, perhaps near the shore, where
it blends well with the reeds and
PUSHES, the little bird emerges as
quietly as it disappeared. .
A storm once dashed a queer little
sea bird against the boundary fence
of the park and stunned it for a
while, but it soon recovered and lived
and dived happily in the pool of the
birdhouse. This little stranger was
a Brunnich's munro, one Of those
birds which live such strange lives,
spending the winter, as nearly as we
know, on the high seas, and in sum-
mel going far north to lay their one
egg on the bare rock Of some solitary
cliff.
Wild seagulls will often drop from
their loose 1ocks passing overhead
and consort with their wing-clippcd
kindred. When they 60 way the
young gulls which have been Matched
in the park usually accompany them,
but return in a few hours to their
home and flock.
At least four species Of wild ducks
frequent the ponds in the park, at.
tracted, probably, by those of thei1
kind in the observation-disclosures
mallards, redheads and wood ducks
Three redhead ducks made the pond:
their home one entire fall, and a:
many as 16 wild wood ducks have
been seen at INC %associating with
those which breed in the park each
year. A number of these wild wooc
ducks are trapped every fall, SO tho
hocks Of this species in the collection
are of the finest.
