70A. Bowdish, Ornithology of a Churchyard. LluW 



my Saint Paul's records of Song and Chipping Sparrows, Robin, 

 Yellow Warbler, and some other of our more familiar birds are 

 surprisingly few. According to the indications of the three 

 seasons covered by my observations, the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker 

 appears to be a regular visitor, which seems rather surprising. 



Observations covering the period from the first to the last record 

 were : for 1903, spring, 5 days, no birds ; 19 days, 18 species, 59 

 individuals: total, 24 days; fall, 25 days, no birds; 47 days, 26 

 species, 187 individuals: total 72 days. For 1904, spring, 7 days, 

 no birds ; 24 days, 22 species, 87 individuals : total 31 days. Total 

 for three seasons of observation : 37 days, no birds; 90 days, 40 

 species, 328 individuals, 117 days observation. This gives an 

 average of one bird in 2.25 days, and of 3.64 individuals per day 

 of observation.
