In the above list no attempt is made at grouping according to season, 

 but the names are given as observed during the course of the year. 

 A large number of the birds named were regular breeders in that sec- 

 tion. In addition to the above, Wild Geese were frequently observed 

 on their migratory trips, but as a rule they traveled at a great elevation. 

 However, we could distinguish their "honk" "honk," and see the "V' 

 shape of their line. Cranes were also observed at different times, and 

 on one occasion an adult Bald Eagle was shot in a woods about three 

 miles distant. 



Summing up we have a total of seventy (70) varieties of birds, 

 which is a good representation for the small district canvassed, and 

 doubtless there were others which escaped my notice.
