Dr. Trotter gave an interesting talk upon "British Birds" 

 based upon his visit to England in the summer of 1906. He 

 contrasted the bird life with that of Pennsylvania and also 

 touched upon birds in English literature, and his interest in 

 seeing various species in the same haunts that the famous 

 writers and poets of England had described them. 



Mr. Rehn recorded a Bald Eagle {Halixetus Icucocephalus) 

 near West Creek, N. J., February 22. 



Dr. Jack stated that Robins {Merula migratoria) had been 

 observed near Media every Sunday during the winter. 



Mr. Baily reported a Woodcock {Philuhela minor); Robin 

 (Merula viigraloria); Flicker ( Colaptes auratus luteus) and eight 

 Bluebirds (Sinlia sialis) at Ardniore on March 3, and stated that 

 he believed this to be an indication ot spring migration. Mr. 

 Rhoads differed from Mr. Baily. He regarded all these birds 

 as winter residents and thought that as yet no migratory move- 

 ment had occurred in the Delaware Valley; he further stated 

 that in all his experience this was the first season in which there 

 had not been marked migration previous to the present date.
