PIPIT (Anthus rubescens) 



The Pipit is a common transient along the coast, and up 

 the Hudson River valley, but further inland is rare and 

 irregular, often unrecorded an entire season, occasionally 

 occurring in large flocks. As a general rule it is much less 

 common in spring, from the middle of March to May. In 

 the fall it is recorded chiefly from the end of September to 

 November. Occasional individuals linger into the winter on 

 the coastal marshes. On the ground the Pipit's slender bill 

 and tail- wagging habits readily identify it. On the wing 

 overhead the notes closely resemble those of the Horned Lark, 

 and many students have difficulty in separating them. The 

 Pipit is slender, with a very undulating flight, the Lark is 

 noticeably broad shouldered, and its flight is little if at all 

 undulating. 



Long Island. Abundant transient; March 12 to May 27; 

 September 6 to November 30, occasional in winter. 



ORIENT. Abundant fall, rare spring transient, irregular in 

 winter; September 10, 1910 to November 25, 1914; average 

 arrival September 25.
