BIRDS OF THE MONADNOCK REGION 



Dear Mr. Packard, 



Here is the Monadnock list. These were practically all nesting birds, and I 

 was pleased to find the woods and slopes of the mountain full of young. The 

 dry, sunny weather doubtless made nesting successful. The list may have interest 

 to some readers, especially as it was made so near the Massachusetts line. 



Have Swallows, which formerly nested in such numbers on the Jaflfrey Town 

 Hall, were driven away three years ago and their nests destroyed by the town 

 authorities, I understand. There are a few nests at the "Ark" barn, but the 

 building has been painted recently and apparently nests would stay up only 

 where now and then there is a metal support to give a little aid at the base of 

 the nest. At the Inn there was one nest, and that inside the barn, against the first 

 rafter, supported on an electric-wire insulator. 



It was good to hear the song of the golden-crowned kinglet in nearly every 

 pine grove and to find so many warblers.
