DELAWARE VALLEY ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB. 51 



December 8th. — Heard a lianimering which I took to be a 

 Downy Woodpecker, but upon reaching tlie s^pot I found that 

 the noise was made by a Tufted Tit, which was picking away 

 at a piece of bark, and thereby producing a noise that any 

 Woodpecker might well have been proud of. 



December lOlh — George Sperber sliot a Night Heron iu the 

 immature phimage. I think they spend the winter here occa- 

 sionally. 



December 24th. — Saw a Marsh Hawk about the creek to-day.
