38 BIRDS OF SWOPE PARK 



were three pairs of Indigo Buntings, a Yellow-breasted Chat, a 

 Scarlet Tanager, a Summer Tanager and a number of other 

 common species. 



Wood Thrushes were common in the bit of wooded val- 

 ley. This is an ideal place for them, for it is near human in- 

 fluence and yet cool and well shaded and protected. 



The only House Wren found in the Park was found about 

 the rubbish in the vicinity of the green houses. It seemed 

 strange that there were not more House Wrens in the Park for 

 there are several residence buildings and sheds and conditions 

 that would seem to be favorable to the Wrens. 



A lone Nighthawk was seen among the bushes along the 

 thicket to the east, where it may have been nesting on one of 

 the rock ledges. It was the only one of the species found as a 

 summer bird in the Park. They are very common, of course, 

 during migration.
