THE WHITE BLACKBIRD.
T read with interest of a white thrush bavin,£T been caujrht up Xorth. Wo l, ;l ve h.id. oil and off. durinsi the>e la<t two year- a white bird in our orchard which we cmi-ider is a white blackbird. Lately it has made it? appearance asrain and seems quitv at home, so much so that it became tame enousih to catch, and wo now have it in car>ti\it \ . '<|iiite happily feeding on worms, prubs. etc." I am wondering if any bird fanciers could tell ns what it. really is or if tlie Museum would like it for its collection. Tt is a beautiful bird, pure white, the size of a blackbird, with all the same characteristics. M. WIRE. Pauui, Henderson.
