It may not be known generally that Cape May ta noted for the birds which are found within He territory, but so noli cable is it that Wilson, the orno thologist in his public work, has said that no greater variety of birdi lountl anywhere in the £ast that be found within the territory ol Cape May county, and this eminent author visited portions of the county years ago to study the birds. There is one warbler bird which has been designated "The Cape May,” and no famous has this bird become that it is knovta to thoae who make a atudv of nature, .ipdudiog our own president. Theodore Roosevelt. While the attention to this specimen of warbler has not bein geneiallycalled the public, why do not some of our lovers of out door lite take some time ling about - the woods for Ibis
