ANNOTATED LIST OF THE BIRDS 59 



pair bred in 1909 at Orient, L. I. (Latham). At the present 

 time no definite breeding colony is known in our area, but 

 vast reaches of the Newark and Hackensack marshes are 

 unexplored, and the larger lakes in Northern New Jersey 

 would well repay investigation, as this species was noted in 

 early July 1920 at Swartswood Lake (Griscom). There is a 

 reasonable possibility, therefore, that it may yet be found to 

 breed regularly in northern New Jersey and sporadically at 

 least on Long Island.

 winter. April to May 1; (July 21) August 15 to December 15.

 New York State.

 three years. April 11, 1914 (Hix) to April 21, 1914 (Griscom);

 20, 1917 (C. L. Lewis). 



New Jersey. Occurring throughout the area as an uncommon 

 spring and common fall transient, occasionally in considerable 

 numbers. Will probably be found breeding locally.

LOON (Gavia immer) Fig. 1 



Loons are a familiar sight along the outer beaches in all 

 except the summer months, and in late spring and fall are 

 constantly flying up or down the coast high overhead, looking
