Table of Arrival.
Note.—The following table gives the dates of the first arrival of each bird mentioned in the preceding list of one hundred and fourteen for the seven years from 1897 to 1903 inclusive, as observed in Lincoln Park. The birds are arranged in their respective families, and space is left for recording their first appearance in any succeeding year.
The record for 1902, in the absence of the authors, was kept by Mr. Harold V. Bozell.
Attention is called to the fact that many birds which are common summer residents in the neighboring country are rare migrants in the Park. Among these may be mentioned the [Red-winged Blackbird], [Bobolink] and [Warbling Vireo]. Some fine singers also, for example, the [Vesper Sparrow], [Yellow-throated Vireo] and [Hermit Thrush], are usually silent in the Park.
