In view of the limited data available from the small number of survey 
areas and the difficulty of ensuring the accuracy of the data, it is felt 
that although the number of singing birds on check areas reported upon has 
increased from 7 birds in 1950 to 5 birds in 1951, no increase in hunt-. 
ing opportunities for this species is considered desirable.
