BROWN CREEPER 187 



was the day of my first visit ornithologically 

 to the Garden, and the first bird seen and 

 recorded on the occasion was one of these 

 two Creepers. I quickly detected after my 

 first observation the richness of the bird- 

 life present. 



Again in October the Brown Creeper 

 regularly appears in the Garden in its 

 southward migration, one or more birds 

 successively, usually after the middle of the 

 month. On October 26, 1906, six birds 

 were present. As the visitants are quite 

 as likely to be upon the large trees which 

 border the Garden or which stand in the 

 streets which bound it as upon the trees 

 within the grounds, it is probable that 

 more Creepers have been visitants than 

 have been seen and recorded. 



In 1908 a Creeper appeared on October 

 ii ; another was present from October 14 

 to 16; another from October 22 to 28; an- 

 other from November I to 8, being heard 

 in song on the last two days of his stay ; 

 and a last one was seen on November 

 19.
