List of Birds observed and data 



1. (7) Loon. Oct. 17 (heard), 24 (1 brought in), 



25 (heard). 



2. (47) Great Black-backed Gull. Oct. 12. [Editor's 



Note. The failure to record this bird on 

 other dates must have been because of inat- 

 tention to water birds. This bird is present 

 throughout the warm weather in small num- 

 bers, and is common the remainder of the 

 year. Oct. 25, Mr. Wentworth writes: — "I 

 did not try to cover that part of the field."] 



3. (51) Herring Gull. Common. 



4. Cormorant. Oct. 8, 12, 16, 17, 18, 21, 24, 25. 

 [Editor's Note. Mr. Wentworth queries as 

 to the species. In October, P. carbo is com- 

 mon on the central Maine coast; but P. auri- 

 tus (Double-crested Cormorant) also is com- 

 mon in summer and early fall and, according 

 to Knight, occurs in the winter. Judging 

 from my experience, both kinds were un- 

 doubtedly present in October.]

6. (190) American Bittern. Oct. 1 (1), 5 (at least 5),
