The Wilson Bulletin — No. 47 59 



Our first year s record was 25, the second 40, the third 

 75, and each year since then between 80 and 100. Each year 

 brings either some new record, or brings back some visitors 

 that have missed coming for a year or two. 



By sitting on a broad v\indow seat in our bedroom, we 

 could look down into a wide spreading Cottonwood, and in 

 that tree we have identified a great many warblers and vireos 

 that ordinarily are so hard to find and see satisfactorily. Last 

 year we caught a fine male Florida Gallinule, which I think 

 was tired and stopped to rest, as there was nothing the matter 

 with it. We took it to Lincoln Park, where it may still be 

 found. The park authorities were glad to get it.
