DELAWARE VALLEY ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB, 5 



His interest in bird life continued, however, and we received most 

 interesting letters describing the winter birds of Miami. 



He remained in Philadelphia for the meeting of the American 

 Ornithologists' Union in November 1921, and, left for Miami 

 early in the following month. His condition in the spring became 

 suddenly worse, and he returned early in April, reaching home just 

 as the northern spring was at its best and the woods full of bird 

 song and blossoming plants. He spoke to me of this and of all the 

 beauties of his home surroundings and after a few days, on April 12, 

 he passed away, happy that he had been able to return to the spot 

 with which his entire life had been so intimately identified.
