Our next visit to the Point was on March 14, 15 and 16, 

 by which time a large number of changes had taken place. We 

 arrived late in the afternoon of the 13th and the next morning 

 our ears were greeted by songs of the Robin, Song Sparrow and 

 Cardinal, and the call of the Chewink. Before the day had fully 

 dawned we were on our way to the end of the Point to see, if 

 possible, the northern migrations in the very act of arrival from 

 the south. On our way down the Carolina Wrens were added 

 to the above-named chorus and numbers of other birds were 

 heard, particularly Bluebirds and Crows. At the end of the 

 Point we found we were doomed to disappointment as we saw 

 nothing whatever arrive from the south. To our surpirse we 

 saw a small number of English Sparrows' migrating south and 

 this experience was repeated in the days following, but northern 

 migration of the same species was also noted on the latter days. 

 A short distance away from the end of the Point we saw a large 

 flock of Cedar Waxwings which we judged were just arriving, 

 and on the 15th a flock of Cowbirds in the same condition, but 

 both of these were flying vigorously and might have rested near 

 the end of the Point. 



Two curious facts were noted, first, three Shore Larks came 

 from near the end of the Point and flew north-east across 

 the Lake, only a few feet above the water. They disappeared 

 in the distance still holding the same direction. The other occur- 

 rence was that of a small flock of about nine Crossbills which 

 flew almost directly east up the Lake. We watched them 

 also until they had disappeared, still holding their course. 



The jungle chorus on this trip was something to be re- 

 membered. The birds seemed to congregate in the same locality 

 as that in which we found them six weeks before but their 

 numbers were very much increased and the later date brought
