of the park are arboreal. The only notable excep- 

 tions are the four water birds, woodcock, upland 

 plover, spotted sandpiper and killdeer plover; and 

 the prairie horned lark, bob-o-link, meadowlark, 

 vesper sparrow. 



Arboreal Spieces are generally most aboundanr 

 where the leafy growth is of greatest extent and 

 density, as along the edge of the park below the 

 main pinnacle near the Franklin street entrance, in 

 places near the "goose pond," the woods on three 

 sides of the reesrvoir, the woods about the stone 

 stairways leading into the park from the State 

 street entrance. 



Terrestrial Spieces may be roughly said to in- 

 habit the open fields in and about the edges of the 

 park, and each grassy or barren area of a few- 

 acres or more in extent which is never cut with the 

 lawn mowers. 



Particular Haunts, that is considerably re- 

 stricted or special ranges, occur with certain 

 species within these general haunts. The upland 

 plover is found chiefly in the la*ge hay 

 field on the south side of the park. The spotted 

 sandpiper is almost confined to the immediate 

 vicinity of the "goose pond," where no doubt it 

 nests. The screech owl nests in the hollow trees 

 near the horse-sheds. The red-headed wood- 

 pecker is usually found in the grove about the 

 horse-sheds an'd in the woods south and west of 

 the reservoir. The crested flycatcher occurs most 

 regularly in the woods south of the reservoir, 

 where it appears to nest; the phoebe, in the old 

 quarry below the reservoir; the barn swallow, 

 about the barn near the Franklin street entrance; 

 migrant shrike, in the out-lying thorn trees (where 

 it nests) between the main pinnacle and Gifford's 

 woods.
