It will be seen that this list does not include several species which we 

 claim as residents, notably all of the Owls except the Screech Owl. Nor 

 does it include a number of the more northern birds which often spend 

 the winter with us. Of these the American Crossbill, Northern Shrike. 

 W' inter W^ren and Brown Creeper are conspicuous examples. Not in- 

 frequently the Crow and Robin have spent the winter in the county, but 

 they were not present last winter. Hence it appears that this list does 

 not comprise anywhere near all of the species that might be looked for 

 during the \i'inter months. 



This winter study of the birds has been a source of great profit and 

 pleasure in the midst of wearing duties. To him who is seeking a first 

 acquaintance with the birds it must prove of the greatest value.

BERWYN, PA. 



Agreeable to the request of our Chairman of the Committee on Geo- 

 graphical Distribution, I sallied out at daybreak on the nth of February 

 for the purpose of taking a winter census of the birds of my district — one 

 square mile of territory as described in the December Osfrey. 



Before the day was spent I found that I would be unable to complete 

 the last and most difficult quarter, — that section lying south of the Penn- 

 sylvania railroad and including the greater and most built-up portion of 

 the village; therefore the population here given is for an area three- 

 quarters of a mile in extent. 



The day was fair and mild, with just a breath of air blcnving from the 

 south-east, temperature, 4o°-63° F. The ground was bare, with the
