Notes from the Field 



Under date of January i, 19 14, Mr. 

 Paul Kroegel, the Association's Warden 

 of Pelican Island Reservation, Indian 

 River, Florida, reports — "We have now 

 as fine a batch of young birds as I can 

 remember for this time of year. There 

 are about 1,600 young at present." There 

 are two striking things about this Pelican 

 colony; first, it is the only permanent 

 breeding colony of Pelicans on the Atlan- 

 tic coast in the United States, and second, 

 the birds do not lay their eggs during the 

 spring months which almost any other 

 bird regards as the proper time for domes- 

 tic activity. These Indian River Pelicans 

 deposit their eggs usually in November or 

 December, fully five months before the 

 Pelicans in the Gulf colonies, less than 

 two hundred miles away, deem it wise to 

 begin nest-building. 



Upon the occasion of the annual meet-

 recently held in Richmond, Mr. M. D.
