My Vireo records are nearly all made in the Park, the only 

 unusual record being that of the Philadelphia Vireo, May 

 12th, 1912, and May 6th, 1913. 



Lake Cohasset, the upper reservoir in the park, was filled 

 with water in 1899, and covers about 28 acres. This lake is 

 rather narrow, with steep bluffs on both sides, and for several 

 years after being filled with water was a stop-over place for 

 many species of water birds. My first water bird records 

 for this locality were made at Lake Cohasset, including the 

 Mergansers, Lesser Scaups, Golden-eye and Ruddy Ducks, 

 also Gulls and Terns. The most important record for this 

 lake was a male and female Surf Scoter that remained from 

 April 21st to April 24th, 1911. 



In 1907, Lake Glacier, at the lower end of the park was 

 fiUed with water, with an area of about 43 acres. This lake 

 is wide enough so that any species of water bird is liable to 

 stop in passing. Within a year or two of the formation of 

 this lake, the water birds almost deserted Lake Cohasset, and 

 my records show that at some time during the past five years, 

 nearly every species of water bird to be seen in this locality 

 has visited this lake, including Grebes, Gulls, Terns, Ducks 

 and Coots. It was on this lake — October 28th, 1913, that I 

 established the remarkable record for Ohio of the Western 

 Grebe. December, 1913, a Loon, Two-Hooded Mergansers, 

 and a Black Duck remained in a small area of open water 

 on Lake Glacier until a day or two after Christmas — really 

 staying until the ice closed in and forced them to leave. 

 White-winged Crossbills, March 3rd, 1907; Crossbills, March 

 3rd, 1909, and Pine Siskins at different times are among the 

 rare winter visitors that have visited "SUM Creek Park.
