501 Meadowlark 
Thirteen records. This species is always found at 
many points in the valley. 
506 Orchard Oriole 
One record from the Town of Ipswich. This probably 
accurately gauges the occurrence of this species in the 
valley. 
507 Baltimore Oriole 
Thirteen records. A common summer resident. This 
bird is sometimes abundant along the river in mid- 
May which may possibly be owing to migration waves. 
509 Rusty Blackbird 
Three records. Probably much belated migrants. 
511 Bronzed Crackle 
Thirteen records. A summer resident common in 
several localities. 
517 Purple Finch 
Thirteen records. An irregularly common migrant 
and occasionally a summer resident.

Until 1919 this feathered tramp was thought unworthy 
of notice but it is safe to state that he has been present 
on all occasions in the Town of Ipswich at least. 
529 American Goldfinch 
Thirteen records. A common permanent resident of 
the valley. 
533 Pine Siskin 
One record. Probably late winter visitors.
