Birds of Dead River Region, Me. F. H. O. 



i. Merula migratoria, (American Robin). At 

 present a common summer resident in all settled 

 portions of the counties. Breeds commonly. I 

 was informed on good authority that their occur- 

 rence in the northern portion is recent, they ap- 

 pearing within a few years in much larger 

 numbers than natural increase could account for, 

 therefore the conclusion remains that they must 

 have "emigrated northward" from some former 

 breeding locality. Since the writer's experience 

 the Robins have penetrated some twenty miles in 

 the wilderness and nested at both of Kennedy 

 Smith's camps at Tim and Seven Ponds, increas- 

 ing in numbers each season.
