Among these are thc nightingale, song thrush, bullfinch skylark and others. A year ago a move ment was made by our citizens of Portland to import n thousand of these birds into Oregon with the expectation that they would rapidly increase in numbers and soon be come as plentiful as the native birds. They will arrive in May, and will be turned loose in or near the city. Thc mocking bird, bob-o-link and red bird are also taken to Oregon from thc southern states. The mild climate of Oregon will no doubt be ap preciated bv what The West Shore Jlagmine calls "Our Feathered Immigrants," which is the title of a large art supplement ac compaying the magazine for March.
