Report of the Spring Migration of 1906 



COMPILED BY WITHER STONE 



The work of the "Migration Corps " who cooperate with the 

 Club in collecting data upon the arrival and departure of birds 

 in the Delaware Valley and elsewhere in Pennsylvania and New 

 Jersey cannot be too highly praised. It is doubtful if such an 

 accurate and comprehensive series of data has ever been collected 

 over such a limited area anywhere in America, and the ultimate 

 results of the work will prove of great scientific value. We can 

 only congratulate our observers and urge their continuance in 

 the work as well as the solicitation of aid from others competent 

 to keep the necessary records.* Schedules covering the 1906
