We have not had as many birds as usual in this region during 
the winter. 
Hairy and Downy Woodpeckers and Flickers fed on the suet 
in the yard as usual, also Brown Creepers. We have had more 
Cardinals than ever. They seem to increase in numbers from 
year to year. Titmice have been singing since the middle of 
January. 
Robins were reported three times in January but none in 
February. Several returned the first week in March. The first 
Bluebirds were seen the last week in February. One Brown 
Thrasher was reported in January. 
We have had a number of Fox Sparrows since the seventeen- 
th of March. We have had a large flock of Cedar Waxwings on 
the campus since March 23d. They are feeding upon the dried 
berries of the high bush cranberry shrubs and other seeds. There 
were twenty-five in the flock yesterday. They roost in a clump 
of hemlock, spruces and arborvitae. Golden-crowned Kinglets 
are here now but have not been as numerous during the winter 
as usual. 
The first Grackles were seen March 10th, Redwings, March 
24th. 
I am wondering whether the number of Chickadees and 
White-breasted Nuthatches is on the decree@se everywhere. We 
used to have many of them around every winter. I have not 
seen any this winter and very few for the last three years.
