BIRDS IN THE SPRING OF 1912 



51 



Red-headed Woodpecker was remarkable. Fox Sparrows were 

 plentiful this year during the few days they were seen. 



The record for May goes only to the 19, for the temperature 

 rose to 81° on that day, and continued at summer heat for the 

 remainder of the month. The presence of an unusually large number 

 of warblers in May gave the writer a splendid opportunity to 

 observe this family. The Magnolia, Tennessee and Myrtle Warblers 

 were seen on 9 days. The Wood Thrush was recorded for the first 

 time in my observations, covering 8 years.
