Birds of Washington Park 



The appended list of the birds of Washington Park, 

 Albany, is the result of the observations of three conservative 

 bird students whose notes cover a period of about eight years. 

 A large number of these birds, which are summer residents of 

 this County, remain in the Park throughout the Summer, and 

 build their nests in the trees or shrubbery; a number are seen 

 occasionally in Winter, and the rest pause for a few days 

 during the Spring or Fall migration. The list includes 

 seventy-four species, but it is not intended to convey the idea 

 that this number is complete, as any of the birds which pass 

 this way are liable to pay a visit to our beautiful breathing 

 spot. The list is as follows:
