MIGRATION EECORD. 



191. [697] Anthus pensHvanicus (Lath.). American Pipit.* 



Common migrant (C. H. B., '86). May 17-18 common 19, 1885 



(C H. B.). April 1, 1901. 



The Pipit probably occurs regularly in considerable numbers, and the 



above record is imperfect on account of faulty observation. 



192 [703] Minius polt/glottos (Linn. ). Mockingbird.* 



Moderately common summer resident. 



The Mockingbird was first noted in this locality April 29, 1882, by 

 B. W. Evermann. He says that Bloomington was the farthest north it 

 had been observed in the State at that time. G. H. Bollmann says it was 

 very rare in 1886. He obtained a set of eggs in 1884. 



Song April 2, 1903. Two nests were complete April 30, 1901. They 

 were on the northeast pike about one fourth mile apart. The males were 

 singing about these nests both day and night. May 2, 1902, a nest and 

 two eggs were taken from a small thorn bush. The eggs had been broken 

 in some manner (W. L. H.). June 6, 1902, a nest and fresh eggs were 

 found about three feet up in a hedge (C. G. L.).
