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

-As AsSW AbAh LOSAVslOat dt hs
 The zoologieal park not only af- lords good opportunities for study ing the habits of rareand curious for eign birds, but, considering its small area, such 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 un- harmed in the flying cages or walk ing about their ranges and swimming on the various ponds, is fraught with significance 10 the quick perceptions of wild birds, large and small. Their keen munitions. says the New York Tribune, and superior powers of in telligence tell them that such un- wonted altruistie 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 tameness whiehleads many persons to think them escaped birds.
 A visit of Canada geese hassoc- cured only once, but grebes are more regular visitors, and at each migra- ton one or more species of these feathered vanishing points are seen swimming on the ponds. You sec a small bird with pointed beak, and, on attempting to take closer look, you suddenly perceive-no bird at all. It has not diyed or flown away, but just apparently been absorbed by the water. It wonderful trick--so impereeptibly submerging itself that not ripple marks the place-and far away, perhaps near the shore, where 1t blends we'll with the reeds and rushes, the little bird emerges as quietly as 1t disappeared.
 A storm once dashed queer little sea bird against the boundary fence of the park and stunned it for while, but 1t soon recovered and lived and dived happily in the pool of the birdhouse. This little stranger was a Brunnieh's murre, one of those birds which live such strange lives, spending the winter, as nearly as we know, on the high seas, and in sum- mer going H fa. ..ol ctD tor@lsgs1 ftaeaz e{Ae egg on the bare rock of some solitary cliff.
 Wild seagulls will often drop from their loose hocks passing overhead and consort with their wing-clipped kindred. When they go 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 their kind in the collections-w widgeons, mallards, redheads and wood ducks. Three redhead ducks made the ponds their home one entire fall, and as many as 16 wild wood ducks have been seen at once associating with those which breed in the park each year. A number of these wild wood ducks are trapped every fall, so the flocks of this species in the collection aro of tho fnest
