Bulletin Volume 1-7 (Paperback)


This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1919 Excerpt: ...their absence is more than made up by a variety of shore birds which were evidently migrating in great numbers. The Red-throated Loon, Doublecrested Cormorant, Old Squaw, Dowitcher, Knot, Upland Plover and Ruddy Turnstone had never before been recorded on these trips, and the Common Tern and Great Crested Flycatcher had been noted but once previously. The Old Squaw seen was within one day of the latest date that this species has ever been found in Essex County. The scarcity of Rails and Marsh Wrens may be accounted for by the S recent high waters, as a fortnight previously the river had been at freshet pitch. A Rail note was heard from the Club Camp by the men who spent Friday night there, which was thought to have been the note of the Yellow Rail, and a Rail was heard by the Saturday morning party, which was probably a Sora, but as the identifications were not complete, these names do not appear on the official list. It was rather peculiar to find that no one had observed or heard a Pine Warbler, but, as its absence was recorded in 1918, 1919 and 1920, it may be that this species is not as common as formerly. The Warbling Vireo, . which had not been recorded up to five-thirty Sunday afternoon, was seen and heard in the same group of trees in the town of Ipswich in which a bird of this species has been found on many1 previous trips. The following species were recorded: Red-throated Loon Herring Gull Common Tern Double-crested Cormorant Red-breasted Merganser Black Duck Wood Duck Old-squaw Bittern Great Blue Heron Black-bellied Plover Semi-palmated Plover Piping Plover Ruddy Turnstone Ruffed Grouse Ring-necked Pheasant Mourning Dove Marsh Hawk Sharp-shinned Hawk Red-shouldered Hawk Black-crowned Night Heron Broad-winged Hawk Woodcock Wilson's Snipe Dowitcher ...
