Bulletin No. //. 



day had been a sultry one and it had rained all night long, clearing again 

 in the morning. The warm weather had stirred the southern loiterers 

 mightily, and in a forenoon tramp Mr. Jones and I had our hands full 

 checking off the newcomers. 



On our walk we picked up the town birds as we passed, and gleaned 

 across field some, but worked principally in the woodlands a mile or so 

 out of town. One piece of woods in particular had a southern fringe of 

 bush and swamp, and was for the most part second growth, uncleared. 

 The trees here were of such a height as to accommodate Warbler habits 

 to the limitations of human eyesight. It was preeminently Warbler 

 Day ! All the laggard host had come. At one time within the space of 

 a minute I had four new arrivals, Warblers, under my glass. One does 

 not see eighteen species of the Mniotiltidae every day in the year, nor 

 indeed every year in a life-time. 



We count ourselves fairly fortunate here in northern Ohio as to variety 

 of bird life, but I'll confess that to record a species every four minutes 

 for five hours straight seemed rather a heady pace. Doubtless other W. 

 O. C. brethren have been even more fortunate. The following list of 

 seventy-six species, the horizon of that day, is given to afford some sug- 

 gestion of the interest which may lie along the lines marked out for the 

 Committee on Geographical Distribution in Bulletin No. 14.
