 Bicknell's.* 



Whether or not any new records were made of summer resi- 

 dents in Pennsylvania, after two weeks stay, I felt more than 

 satisfied with the bird population of Pocono Lake. Do I 

 recommend you to go there ? That depends on who you are. 

 If you arc one of those collectors to whom a dead bird is more 

 than a living one, I beg of you to stay in some city where you 

 can do little harm. If j'ou require hotel accommodations, it is 

 no place for you. But if you wish to pitch a tent on a grassy 

 elope, under pointed spruces, beside a quiet lake, to see and 

 hear what goes on in a choice corner of the bird world, then 

 Pocono Lake may offer you just what you desire.

 Bicknell's Thrush has never been fuund breeding south of the Catskills, but 

 the Pocono plateau is in many respects a southern extension of these moun- 

 tains, so that an interesting problem is here suggejtid. — Ed.
