May, 1915, Bird Census

May, 1915, Bird Census 



A year ago the editor asked for May lists of birds. It was hoped 

 that by this means some better idea might be gained about the 

 crest of the greatest of the migration waves in the central dis- 

 tricts particularly. The responses to this request were so few that 

 it was not deemed worth while to publish them in the September 

 issue. They are given below as an example of what can be done, 

 and in the hope that May, 1916, will be a month in which many 

 lists will be made and reported for publication:
