DELAWARE VALLEY ORNITHOLOGICAL CLUB. 69 



The first Club outing of the year was held at New Lisbon, 

 N. J. February 23, 1915. Only ten members were in atten- 

 dance, there being a heavy fall of snow during the entire day. 

 The storm and cold was so intense as to render extended walking 

 prohibitive. A tramp of four miles brought to light but six spe- 

 cies of birds and ended with the accidental drenching of Dr. 

 Peet. The walkers then repaired to a bungalow belonging to 

 one of the members and passed the remainder of the day relat- 

 ing previous ornithological experiences. 



The Decoration Day outing of the Club was held at Rushland, 

 Pa., May 30, 1915. Fifteen members attended. Fifty-two 

 species were noted. The following were found to be nesting in 

 the vicinity: Worm-eating Warbler, Bobolink, Grasshopper 

 Sparrow, Red-eyed Vireo (singing upon nest). 



Two additions have been made to the Club collection of nests 

 and eggs of Pennsylvania and New Jersey birds during the year. 

 The nest and eggs of the Broad-winged Hawk were contributed 

 by Robert P. Sharpies, and those of the Warbling Vireo by 

 George H. Stuart. Dr. E. Culver presented tree sections, one 

 containing a nest of the Bluebird and the other a nest of the 

 Tufted Tit. Many individual birds were also supplied from 

 the Benner collection. The following species whose nests are 

 still unrepresented should be kept in mind by our members on 

 their outings this spring. 



Pied-billed Grebe. Black-billed Cuckoo.
