  10. Kingfisher - One heard in the trees near 
Auburn Lake.
  11.  Phoebe - A this years nest, extremely near & fresh looking,
attached to an iron girder under the bridge
across Auburn Lake. They have bred here for
at least three years. From years ago and for
several years previously, according to Wm Lyon, a
pair nested on one of the columns that support
the roof of the main entrance to the cemetery
on Brattle Street.
  12. Wood Pewee. One heard singing.
  13. Flicker - One "shouting", several seen. Lyon says they
frequent the country any month of the year.
  14. Chimney Swift. - Three seen flying high over the trees.
  15. Kingfisher - One seen flying through the trees towards 
Auburn Lake.
  Wood Duck - Wm Lyon assures me that a Wood Duck
reared a brood of young in the Autumn in 1897.
she was frequently seen early in the season alighting
in the branches of some large oaks over Auburn Lake.
Later she appeared in the ponds with four young. She
visited most of the ponds (even the small one near the
Brattle St. entrance) with her young before they were half
grown.
