THE LIST 
In the thirteen years, one hundred and thirty-six species 
have been identified, and fifty-one of these have been recorded 
every year. Three additional have been recorded every trip 
but one, while twenty-three besides have been recorded on 
seven or more trips. In other words, seventy-seven species 
have been recorded on a majority of the trips, and may safely 
be said to occur commonly during mid-May of each year in 
the valley of the Ipswich River. Of these, at least sixty are 
believed to nest annually in the valley or in its immediately 
adjacent regions. The species are as follows: 
7 Loon 
Two records. A pair seen from the pines in 1918 is a 
record worthy of mention. 
47 Great Black-backed Gull 
One record only. From Plum Island Sound. 
51 Herring Gull 
Eleven records. Immature and non-nesting birds, 
always to be found off the mouth of the River.
