country since tlie days of \\'ili-on and Audubon, and we are pleased 

 to note that recently more attention is being given tlie region. 



At the date of writing (Marcli S) there has been but one small 

 migration wave, consisting of P>Iuel;irds, Robins. Killdeers, and 

 Meadowlarks in Northern Ohio. This occurred on February. 1!). 

 Immediately winter shut down again with the largest fall of snow 

 of the entire winter and temperatures as low as any experienced 

 even in the cold wave of early February. Since these conditions 

 prevailed over most of the northern half of the country we may 

 all look forward to a rush of migrants when the winter finally 

 In-eaks, and a probable mixing of the species making up the second 

 and third waves. Watch for it.
