A Piazza Bird List

0n Octoher 3, 1903. I saw the following birds from the piazza of my home in Sum- mit, New jersey: A large flock of Golden- crowned Kinglets, Juneos. Chiekadees. Tufted Titmouse, Wood Thrushes. a large number of Veeries, a few Hermit Thrushes- (I think). six Catbirds, four Brown Thrashers. one Maryland Yellow-throat. two Scarlet Tanagers. a Goldﬁnch. a Brown Creeper, Robins innumerable. Blue Jays galore, and the inevitable English Sparrow.

Can any other reader of BIRD-LORI! beat that record? I was not looking for birds and I did not go oi? the piazza except to trace and identify one Brown Thrasher.— Bnltt'urt B. Win-soy, Summil. N. 7.
