A company of six Bronzed Grackles spent the winter in Oberlin. 



Two or more Robins were fed all winter in Oberlin. 



Only two Lapland Longspurs have been recorded for the connty 

 — March 5. Many more are usually found during the spring weeks. 



A solitary SnoAA'flake was found feeding with a company of 

 Prairie Horned Larks, on February IG. No others were seen during 

 the winter. 



A Kirtland's and a fine male Prairie Warbler were recorded on 

 May 2. The birds were feeding close together and permitted an ap- 

 proach within twenty feet, singing all the time. The Kirtland's 

 w'as without markings on the center of the breast. This is the third 

 record for Kirtland's Warbler. 



A solitary Hooded and a solitary. Kentucky Warbler were record- 

 ed on May 15, both singing lustily. These birds have recently made 

 their appearance in the county. Neither have yet been found ex- 

 cept during the height of the spring migrations. 



There was a notable scarcity of Goldfinches during the last week 

 in March and the first three weeks in April. Only a few were re 

 corded during the winter. The birds became common again by the 

 30th of April, and before any had completed the spring moult. A 

 similar scarcity is reported to me from south-eastern Michigan. 

 Were they common anywhere during this period?
