Bird Migration at Oberlin, Ohio. 83 



Canadian Pine Grosbeak. — A rare winter visitor. 



Purple Finch. — A winter resident, but seemingly more 

 abundant in the spring - . I can give no very regular dates when 

 they seem to be more numerous than usual. The records are 

 scattering ones from January to May. 



White-tvingcd Crossbill. — Very rare. Only found in 1902. 

 Both records were at the same locality. 



American Crossbill — Very erratic in migrations. There 

 was another record in 1898 by W. L. Dawson, but I have not 

 the exact date. 



Pine Siskin. — In 1902 was found first, January 7, and occa- 

 sionally later, until May 13. 



Vesper Sparrow. — In winter of 1903-4 a Vesper Sparrow 

 wintered in the northern part of the county. This is the only 

 record I have of this species doing this. 



T\cwhee. — This bird has wintered the last two years at 

 Chance Creek, ten miles northwest of Oberlin. 



Cardinal. — There is some movement among the Cardinals 

 some years. In 1899 it was very marked, but as a rule the 

 Cardinals seem more abundant in the winter. They are found 

 here fairly -commonly the year round. 



Brown Creeper. — A fairly common winter resident, yet it 

 seems to have a pretty regular migration season when it is 

 more abundant. 



Golden-croivned Kinglet. — A common winter resident, but 

 far more abundant during migration. Its migration reaches 

 its height about as that of the warblers begins. 



Hermit Thrush. — One winter record, that of Dec. 4, 1903. 



Black-throated Green Warbler. — An occasional pair nests in 

 the countv.
