This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ...fully able to shift for themselves. The "wick-i-up" call is likely to be given on any warm day of the fall or winter, but at other times the only note usually heard is the single prolonged call. This woodpecker is present on all of the larger islands all summer, and is tolerably common in the vicinity of the Lake Laboratory during the nesting season and all the fall. 118. Antrostomus rociferus.--Whip-poor-will. Except during the migrations confined to the stream gorges, and mostly along the lower reaches of the rivers. During the spring migrations it is scattered pretty generally over the whole wooded portions of the region, but is far less numerous away from the streams than elsewhere, except in the immediate vicinity of the lake. Twice the bird has been recorded on the Oberlin College campus, and at least one regularly spends a few days of the migration season on the banks of Plum creek near the Waterworks reservoir. Its spring arrival is usually a few days in advance of the big spring wave which sweeps through about the first of May. I have no records later than July 30. After the birds cease singing it seems impossible to find them, or else they move southward earlier than one would be led to expect. The experiences of Taverner and Swales on Point Pelee prove that they do not leave before September. Probably there is no fly line across the region under consideration. On April 29 and May 13, 1907, Whip-poor-wills were in such numbers on the sand spit that an accurate count was impossible. In 1908 a pair evidently nested a few rods west of the Lake Laboratory, for it was present during the whole of the summer term--June 22 to July 30. 119. Chordeiles virgim'anus.--Nighthawk. Irregular, but never common, as a summer resident....
