The European starting has put in
its appearance in Burlington, a num-
Der of the birds having been seen. In
1890, 13 pair of this species were
brought from Great Britain and lib
Grated near New York. Since then
they have multiplied rapidly and
have spread all along the Atlantic
seaboard and for some distance in
land. Burlington is the point farth-
est north where they have appeared.
The starting is about the size of the
purple grackle, commonly called crow
blackbird, and resembles it somewhat
in color but it is speckled and not a
solid color. The starting bids fair to
become as great pest as the English
sparrow.
