April Trips in Lincoln Park 
By Doris A. PLAPP 
BIRD TRIPS in Lincoln Park have been conducted each Saturday morning in 
April and May. The director of the walks and those attending have enjoyed 
them very much. Some people in Chicago seem to be under the impression 
that birds can be seen only in the open country. The accompanying list 
proves otherwise. Our large parks are excellent places for bird study be- 
cause the birds are there and because trees, bushes and undergrowth are 
not too thick. Those who are first learning to know birds have an excellent 
opportunity here. Following is a list of birds seen on the Saturday walks 
in April: Mallard duck, pintail duck, wood duck, lesser scaup duck, Ameri- 
can merganser, red-breasted merganser, American coot, herring gull, Bona- 
parte’s gull, common tern, flicker, red-headed woodpecker, yellow-bellied 
sapsucker, phoebe, barn swallow, purple martin, blue jay, crow, brown 
creeper, ring-necked pheasant, brown thrasher, robin, hermit thrush, golden- 
crowned kinglet, ruby-crowned kinglet, starling, English sparrow, red-wing 
blackbird, meadowlark, bronzed grackle, cardinal, towhee, Henslow’s spar- 
row, junco, field sparrow, white-throated sparrow, fox sparrow, swamp 
sparrow, song sparrow.
