The following notes will aid in understanding the list : 



Honied Grebe. — Rarely seen in winter. 



Herring Gull. — May well he classed as a winter resident. At 

 least they are commonly found about Lake Erie until that 

 freezes solidly; then they are found frequently about the har- 

 bor at Lorain. 



Black Tern. — So far as I know, this bird does not nest in Lo- 

 rain county. It is a summer resident, however, in this latitude, 

 nesting commonly in the marshes just west of this county, 

 about Sandusky. 



American Merganser. — Was found January 1. 1901, at Lake 

 Erie, and a number of other times in the winter. It seems 

 commonly to remain as long as there is open water. Often 

 found in pairs at this time. During the spring individuals visit 

 the waterworks reservoir in the village of ( )berlin. 



Black Duck. — Also found occasionally in winter when there 

 is open water. Since 1903 the common species here has been 

 regarded as the Red-legged Black Duck. 



Great Blue Heron. — The dates of this bird's arrival are, I 

 am sure, much earlier than the most of those we have recorded. 

 The main rivers of Lorain county are several miles distant on 

 either side of Oberlin, hence we cannot visit these as frequent- 

 ly as we should. 



Lesser Scaup Duck. — A few pairs remain to breed in the 

 vicinity of Oberlin.
