Abstract
I SHOULD much like to know whether blackbirds and thrushes are scarce in other localities this year; because they have most unaccountably vanished from this neighbourhood, with the exception of a very few stragglers. Our cherries and strawberries are untouched. I have not observed a single blackbird or thrush in our garden or pleasure-grounds since the fruit ripened, though every other year we captured several in the cherry-nets, and shot many others.
