MIGRATION DURING APRIL. 
‘Tuts year April was a rather average month; most of the birds 
which arrived during that time appeared possibly a little later than 
last year. ‘The first few days were rather warm and laid the foun- 
dation for a flight which was brought about by the unusually warm 
weather of the 6th, 7th, and 8th. ‘This warm spell was followed by 
a few days of colder weather, which did not appear however to 
retard migration very much. From the 13th to the 20th the weather 
was moderately warm, but there was no general flight until about 
the 18th. Most of the birds arriving at that time were Myrtle and 
Yellow-palm Warblers, From the 20th to the end of the month 
the weather was quite cool, but in spite of this the birds, especially 
the two species of Warblers, continued to pass on. 
Throughout the month the flight of certain sparrows, especially 
of the Juncos and Fox Sparrows, has been unusually light. In the 
case of several species it has not been possible for the members to 
see them until a few days after their arrival, but in most cases the 
birds have been found as soon as they arrived.
