THE OOLOGIST

Two Chickadees and five Horned Larks 

 were then seen. Blue Jays - were 

 heard calling frequently near Smith 

 Mills and here also four Bluebirds 

 were seen flying overhead northward. 

 In Butler three Juncoes, a Pine Siskin 

 and two more Blue Jays were ob- 

 served. This day was very cold and 

 this probably accounts for the scarcity 

 of some and absence of others from 

 the list. 



March 7th, Branch Brook Park, 

 Newark, was canvassed and the sec- 

 ond record of the Redpoll for the win- 

 ter was made near the conservatorieo 

 in the northern section. The Tree 

 Sparrows, White-throats, Song Spar- 

 row, Pine Siskin and Chickadee were 

 present.
