Therefore there are at least 108 kinds of birds whose breeding 
home includes this general region, and that one may expect to find 
in the Palisades Park. Probably other observers have noted addi- 
tional species. There is always the possibility of interesting dis- 
coveries, which adds greatly to the allurements of bird study in the 
field.
