PORTLAND, OREGON, 
NOVEMBER, 1895. 
mMEiot OF LHE BIRDS OF OREGON. 
Being the work of the Northwestern 
Ornithological Association 
Prepared by the president. 
The following list of birds probably 
does not contain all the species to be found 
in Oregon, yet we hope the publishing of 
it will give ornithologists a better idea of 
the avifauna of this region than they have 
heretofore, been able to obtain, and it cer- 
tainly will be of great benefit to members 
of the association. 
We hope, in criticising this list, that the 
readers of the Oregon Naturalist will bear 
in mind that it is the work of amateurs. 
Our associationis young, and so also, 
for the most part, are the members, be- 
ginners in the great study of ornithology. 
Beside the members of the association, 
Mr. C. W. Swallow, Mr. Bernard J. Bret- 
herton, and Mr. George D. Peck, deserve 
mention and to whom the association ex- 
tend thanks, for helping to bring the list 
up to its present size.
