III. SONG-PERIOD OF BIRDS AT RALEIGH 



RECORDED BY C. S. BRIMLEY. 



The song-periods assigned to the different species named below are based on data collected at 

 Raleigh for one year only, viz. : June, 1908, to June, 1909, and therefore can only be considered 

 approximations. It must also be remembered that spring is the main song-period of most North 

 Carolina birds, and that when a species is here mentioned as singing at other periods the songs 

 are usually then of less than ordinary duration and volume. 



(1) Also once in August. 



(2) Also heard twice in November and twice in January. 



(3) Also once in August. 



(4) Also once in August. 



(5) Occasionally heard almost any time in the year. 



(6) Occasionally in August. 



(7) Also once in November. 



(8) Once heard in each of the three months, July, August, and September. 



(9) Occasional specimen is seen later than July. 



The song-period given for the winter birds is marked by the sporadic singing of occasional 

 birds throughout the period named, rather than by the species being in full song at any time.
