Gardner, is making n bird census for the State departin' nt. "I wtt i amazed at the abundance of bird life throughout the park." write 1 Mrs. Thomas. "Bird songs and calls arc heard everywhere and the park I r verltabl • bird haven. Not recont’y have I visited any wooded section containing so many feathered fold. “Ln the dense woods ofoe heads many wood thrushes, vlreos. pewes, ovenbirds and woodpeckers. Their presence is realized by song and call even more than by sight because of leaves obstructing one’s view. In the wonderful old-growth timber along the new trail many birds are found. Warblers infest the tall trees of the ravines. Many are migrating to the north altho some are mating here. Chestnut sided ovenbirds redstart and yellow warblers are one every hand." Chiping sparrows are more abundant in the open spaces around the hotel, while ill the open serfions bordering ths streams are found catbirds, flycatchers, warblers. with woodpeckers, pewees, ami titmice everywhere. Mrs. Thomas says. Scarlet tangers also are numerous. Vera Cruz Man Killed Rattlesnake Last Week fit to Gilgen. of Vera Cruz, reported
