Birds noted at Barrett farm just before it was sprayed

Census of Birds at the Farm

  44. Trochilus colubris. [male] perch on dead twig of apple
tree in flower garden (his old stand) on 18th.
  45. Chaetura pelagica. Two flying about house.
  46. Dryobates pubescens. Pair nesting in elm near shed.
  47. Colaptes auratus. One in orchard on 19th
  49. Buteo latissimus. Pair nesting in run. One bird
heard nest on 18th.
  50. Bonasa umbellus. At least one pair in run.
  51. Phasianus colchicus. One crowing in Howes [Howe's] field 
opposite Ritchie's place, another on
road to Bensen's.
  Omitting as certainly migrants the Parula Warbler
and the Magnolia Warbler we have left 49 species
which may be safely classed as summer residents of
this farm. Allowing most of them to be probably
mated then total number of individual birds would be
about 130.
  To the above list I added this evening (19th)
  52. Geothlypis trichas.- One singing in Berry Pasture
  53. Turdus fuscescens. One calling in Berry Pasture
  54. Antrostomus vociferous. One singing in Barrett Run.
