THE BIRD MAGAZINES. 
The January Awk is particularly interesting to Michigan readers from 
the fact that it contains a long article on the Birds of the Au Sable Valley, 
by Norman A. Wood and Earl H. Frothingham. Additional interest centers 
around this list because it relates to the region now known to be the summer 
home of Kirtland’s Warbler. Among other papers of particular interest three 
stand out with prominence: Routes of Migration, by W. W. Cooke; Decrease 
of Certain Birds in New England, by E. H. Forbush; and Regurgitative 
Feeding of Nestlings, by Irene G. Wheelock. The number also contains the 
Secretary's report of the Twenty-second Congress of the American Ornith- 
ologists’ Union, and there are several notes on the capture of rare species in 
Michigan. 
The April Auk is noteworthy for two papers in addition to Mr. Norman 
A. Wood’s paper on New and Rare Bird Records for Michigan. One of 
these papers, on the Migration of Certain Shore Birds, is reviewed at some 
length elsewhere in this Bulletin. The other paper is the Nesting of the 
Golden Eagle in Montana, by E. S. Cameron, illustrated by four excellent 
half-tones. 
Bird Lore for March-April is rich in interesting notes and pictures for 
the bird lover. It opens with a paper by T. Gilbert Pearson on the Cor- 
morants of Great Lake, North Carolina, giving striking half-tones of a large 
nesting colony of the Florida Cormorant in the cypress trees of this Carolina 
lake. There is also another finely illustrated paper, on the Chimney Swift, 
by Guy A. Bailey, showing young and old swifts in and out of the nest, which 
in this case was located on the inside of the gable of a barn, so that the 
photographs were taken by flashlight. The excellent series of papers on the 
Migration of Warblers by W. W. Cooke is continued, the colored plate, which 
is beyond criticism, representing the Connecticut and Kentucky warblers. 
Otto Widmann suggests the Hummingbird as a representative species for a
