CAMPUS BIRDS 



A List of Birds Recorded by the Wheaton Ornithological 

 Club, for the O. S. U. Farm and Campus. 



Robert F. Griggs. 



The first list of Campus birds was published by the Wheaton 

 Club in the "Agricultural Student" for March, 1898. Since that 

 time a number of additional species have been reported and it has 

 been thought advisable to republish the entire list, inserting the 

 additions in their proper places. The list below contains 137 species. 

 It is compiled from the records of the Wheaton Club, excepting 

 those species for which Prof. J. R. Taylor is given credit. Only 

 those species of which nests, eggs, or fledgelings have been ob- 

 served ai*e reported as breeding. The names are preceded by the 

 A. O. U. check list number. Further additions will be published 

 from time to time.
