Barred Owl. Great Horned Owl, Yellow-billed Cuckoo, Hairy Wood- 

 pecker, Wliipiioorwill, Nijilithawk, Blue Jay, Grasshopper Sparrow. 

 Bank Swallow, Black-and-white Warhler, Water-Thrush, Louisiana 

 Water-Thrush and White-breasted Nuthatch. 



A noteworthy feature of bird-seeing this season was the arrival in 

 April of warblers and other birds never previously recorded for this 

 section before May. A marked decrease in the number of many war- 

 blers is also evident, esi>ecially MaKuolia, Blackburnian, Chestnut- 

 sided and Canadian. Of the latter none has been seen by either of 

 us, though ordinarily not rare here. The cold and sevei-e storms of 

 the nesting season in the Adirondacks and Canada last year appear 

 to have i)revented normal maintenance of numbers in these and 

 probably other species. Otto McCrearv and F. II. IIai.i..
