60 TEES A.OLD OB LOUN iB: Osta Eaters 
managed to flush him, a single individual. Although it took about twenty 
minutes our efforts were well repaid. 
On July 8 a Dowitcher was seen at the bay above the dam. Hus red- 
dish breast, long bill, and brown back were carefully noted. He remained 
until September 10 and added a new bird to our permanent list for the 
dam. 
August 11—Olive-sided Flycatcher. 
August 26—Lincoln Sparrow (probably earlier), Yellow-headed 
Blackbird. 
On September 10 our regular fall migration hike was taken by the 
same fellows that went on the all-day spring hike. “This one was from 
4:30 A. M. to 8:10 P. M. and each covered about twenty-five miles. Again 
we went in two groups most of the time. ‘The temperature ranged from 
56 degrees to 70 degrees, the wind was light S. E. to S., and the sky was 
more or less cloudy. We found eighty-four species altogether, nine kinds of 
flycatchers, but only fifteen species of warblers. New ones for the year 
were Duck Hawk (?), Broad-winged Hawk, and Sharp-shinned Hawk. 
On December 24 the Christmas census was taken. ‘The following list 
was made: Golden-eye Duck, Red-tailed Hawk, Ring-necked Pheasant, 
Herring Gull, Long-eared Owl, Belted Kingfisher, Flicker, Hairy Wood- 
pecker, Downy Wodpecker, Crow, Black-capped Chickadee, Tufted ‘Tit- 
mouse, White-breasted Nuthatch, Brown Creeper, Golden-crowned King- 
let, Starling, English Sparrow, Meadowlark, Cowbird, Slate-colored 
Junco, Tree Sparrow, Song Sparrow. ‘The Long-eared Owl is a new 
species for the area giving us all the Chicago owls except the Snowy. 
‘The year has been a fairly good one. “These records, however, are far 
from complete as the reader can easily see. In some cases the dates are 
fairly good but in others they are very poor. I have often wished we 
could go out every day in one year. “That would enable us to make some 
real records, but ? ? ? DonaLp DUNCAN.
