CENSUS OF NESTING BIRDS 



53 



Wild-cat Hollow, together with the crowds now frequenting 

 the bordering meadow and the Lagoon, has brought about a 

 great change. 



Some few of the more retiring species, however, still stay 

 in the woods by the stream and inhabit the slope farther north 

 and east, but the meadow is almost deserted by birds in sum- 

 mer. 



Still farther north, but outside of the Park, a change in 

 the course of the Blue River years ago, has left a low swampy 

 place now overgrown with marsh mallows, button-bush and 

 other swamp plants. A number of Red-wing Blackbirds nest 

 here.
