Februar}' 6, 1898, 7:30 A. M. The one old Flicker still here at the 

 depot. Saw a flock of 30 Brairie Hens fly by over a corn-field. These 

 are the only ones seen for three or four months. 



There is a foot of snow on the ground which has been here for fully 

 two weeks. I walked along the creek thru half a mile of thicket and a 

 quarter mile of open woods, from 8:30 to 9:30 A. M. 30° to 32°. Wind 

 S. E. 



In the thicket a company of 7 Chickadees and 11 Tree Sparrows. 

 8 Brairie Horned Larks flew over. In the woods I found a noisy com- 

 pany of 13 Chickadees, 3 White-breasted Nuthatches, 4 Downy Wood- 

 pecks. I Hairy Woodpecker and i Brown Creeper, with 7 Crows at a 

 little distance. Total, 86 birds including 10 species. 



February 13, 1898. 46°. Bartly cloudy. Disagreeable south-west 

 wind. 2 to 3:25 B. M. Locality as before. 3 Chickadees, 3 Downy 

 Woodpeckers, 7 Crows, 4 Brairie Horned Larks, 8 Cedarbirds — the first 

 flock I ever saw. I also noted 30 or 35 small birds fly over, which, from 

 their flight and size, I think were Cedarbirds.

BIRD HORIZONS. 



LORAIN COUNTY, OHIO. 



The pleasurable work of taking bird censo-horizons and bird horizons 

 has gone steadily on since the last report. The most notable one since 

 those reported in the last Bulletin was that of March 12. The one of 

 February 12 has been dwelt upon not a little on a preceeding page. For 

 five days previous to March 12, spring-like weather had prevailed, and 

 on the three days immediately preceding, the temperatures had reached 

 60° at noon, not falling below 40° during the night. Light southerly 

 winds and clear weather was the rule, but on the i i th rain fell in warm 

 showers. The 12th opened cloudy with a light south wind and a temper- 

 mure of 51° (which fell to 40° before night).
