Abstract
EVERY morning a brown bird (apparently a female blackbird) feeds at my library window. She has a white spot on the breast, and a large white ring, in the exact position of that on a Barbary dove, not meeting under the chin. Is this an unusual variety? I see no mention of such a peculiarity in any of the books at hand, as Lewin, Bewick, Mudie, &c.
