Christmas Bird Census. 



Reports of Winter Birds by Members of the Maine Ornithological Society 

 During the Period from Dec. 20 to 31, Inclusive. 



The third Christmas bird census, taken by members of the 

 Maine Ornithological Society, has been fully as successful as those 

 which have preceded it. During the present winter birds have been 

 unusually plentiful all over the State, and many of the reports are 

 of permanent interest. The presence of Bohemian Waxwings in 

 eastern Maine and the neighboring island of Grand Manan is note- 

 worthy. Several new observers have taken part in the bird census 

 and their contributions are welcome. For the sixth consecutive 

 winter Myrtle Warblers were observed at Cape Elizabeth during 

 Christmas week. 



The reports sent by different members for the closing days of 

 1908 are as follows:
