ORDERS OF BIRDS—PIGEONS AND DOVES The latest and most gratifyina; information on this subject is contained in a letter dated Nov. 9, 1903, transmitted by Mr. Shields. In Penn- sylvania, in a locality that shall be nameless here, three flocks of Passenger Pigeons, containing in all about 300 birds, have been feeding for three weeks on the farm of a sportsman and nature- lover who is protecting them..
