STITCHBIRDS REAPPEAR
RARE VISITORS IN FAR NORTH [Per United Press Association.] WHANGAREI, October 15. Two birds which are now declared to be stitchbirds were seen a few days ago near Ngunguru, on the East Coast, about 12 miles from Whangarei. It had been thought that the stitchbird, which is a beautiful native of New Zealand, was almost extinct, specimens being found only on island sanctuaries. The fact that a pair has been seen on the mainland is hailed with delight by bird lovers as an indication that the species is increasing. A strong appeal is being made for their protection.
