Calendar of Bird Migration 



These tables are approximately correct and are based upon 

 the average of observations for a series of years in the central 

 part of the state. They are different from those that would be 

 made for either our southern or northern border. Most of 

 the birds noted under January are more or less regularly resi- 

 dents or winter visitors in Indiana in the latitude of Indianap- 

 olis. In the latitude of Lawrenceiburg, Madison, and Evansville 

 there would be placed under January all the February and part 

 of the March list. For our northern counties, particularly those 

 near Lake Michigan, some of the birds found in the January 

 and February list, such as the Song Sparrow, Redheaded 

 Woodpecker, and Bluebird ordinarily would not be found un- 

 til in March or April or even later. Some, like the Cardinal, 

 Carolina Wren, Turkey Vulture, and Bewick's Wren are not 

 commonly found north of central Indiana.
