Long Island Notes. 



For the past ten years I have made 

 my home at Greenport, New York; 

 about 10 miles west of Orient pointy 

 the jumping off place on the north 

 side of Long Island. During that time 

 I have ibeen able to give more or less 

 of my time to the study of Birds and 

 their habits. 



With one or two exceptions the 

 birds in the list given below were re- 

 corded within a radius of 5 miles from 

 Greenport. 



The Wilson's Petrel was seen In the 

 middle of L. I. Sound directly north of 

 my home, hut several miles from 

 shore. This ibird I ibelieve is of rare 

 occurance in this locality and I have 

 but the one record. 



So far as I have been able to deter- 

 mine the Starling is a new arrival in 

 this locality, a friend having first lo- 

 cated them near Orient, L. I., in May 

 1907. Since then there has been oc- 

 casionally one or two seen in that 

 vicinity. I have but two records of 

 them myself both in 1907. 



In the latter part of May, 1906, sev- 

 eral Turkey Vultures appeared be- 

 tween this place and Orient and re-^ 

 mained for about two weeks.
