LIST OF BIRDS IN THE PARK 127 



are at no time as plentiful as are Robins. There are com- 

 paratively few that nest in the Park. They are not as par- 

 ticular about being near human habitations as are the Robins, 

 and their nests may be found far out in the Park. A few may 

 be found in the Park nearly every winter. During late Feb- 

 ruary and again in September and October, it is not uncom- 

 mon to find flocks of twenty or more. 



Total number of species reported in Swope Park and 

 immediate vicinity 173. No doubt others occur, and continued 

 observations will add to the list. It is hoped that none of 

 those now found in the Park will be driven out. 



For a complete list of birds to be found in the region 

 about Kansas City the reader is referred to the very complete 

 and carefully prepared work by Harry Harris on "BIRDS OF 

 THE KANSAS CITY REGION," St. Louis Academy of 

 Science, St. Louis, Mo. This book gives much interesting and 

 valuable data concerning the birds of this region.
