The spring of 1914 was distinctly a late one: both February 

 and March were cold, and there was more or less snow on the 

 ground from February 11 to March 13, although the early 

 winter had been open. 



A sudden rise in temperature on March 15 with clear weather 

 brought the advance of the migrants — Crackles, Robins, Fox 

 Sparrows, Redwings and Killdeers. 



Another marked rise on the 26th and 27th brought Phoebes^ 

 Cowbirds and Kingfishers. Later the coincidence between 

 temperature changes and migratory movements is less marked, 

 and the dates of bulk arrival of species arriving at the same 

 time does not show as uniform a departure from the normal 

 as has been the case in some years, viz. ( — , late; +, early):
