. The birds of Ohio; a complete scientific and popular description of the 320 species of birds found in the state . ck-bats, but the English Sparrow in the country is an abatable nuisance. He can beshot, and he ought to be. There are no English Sparrows about my presenthome, in a suburb of Columbus. A sensible and determined neighbor has pliedthe shotgun for several years and as a result Bluebirds, Chipping and FieldSparrows, Woodpeckers of all kinds. Warblers, Robins, Blue Jays, etc. areplentiful hereabouts. I prefer Bluebirds myself. The Sparrow exhibits a most cosmopolitan taste in the matter of nestingsites. The normal half-bushel ball of trash in the tree-top is still adhered to bysome builders, but the cavity left by a missing brick, a Woodpeckers hole—deserted upon compulsion—or a throne upon the scale-pan of Justice—done instone upon the County court-house, and mercifully blind—will do as well. Oflate the choicest rural sites have been appropriated, and the cliffs once sacred tothe gentle vSwallow, now resound with the vulgar bletherings and maudlinmirth of this avian blot on nature..
