78 <strong>Bird</strong> -Lore The prospect of securing a world's record was so inviting that, during the last week of June, 1915, 1 made a census of all birds nesting on the acre adjoining our house and barns, with the result that we found fifty-nine pairs of birds with young or eggs in the nest on that acre, the highest number of land-birds A BLUEBIRD'S NEST BOX, IN WHICH A PAIR OF BLUEBIRDS REARED THREE BROODS IN 1914, AND AGAIN IN 1915 inhabiting one acre that has yet been reported to the Department of Agriculture or to any Audubon society. The details of the census are presented below: LIST OF BIRDS NESTING ON ONE ACRE ADJACENT TO THE HOUSE AND BARNS OF GILBERT H. GROSVENOR IN THE WEEK OF JUNE 1 5-2 1, 1915 (Only pairs whose nests were located with young or eggs in them are counted.) Flicker* i pair Bluebird* i " Yellow Warbler i " Orchard Oriole 2 " Catbird 2 Song Sparrow i Chipping Sparrow 2 Phoebe i " " " " House Wren* 14 pair Robin 7 " Kingbird i "' Martins* 26 " Total 59 pairs English Sparrows o The asterisk (*) indicates pairs nesting in boxes put up by the family. A similar census made of the second adjoining acre showed thirty-three pairs nesting in this area, as follows:
The World's Record for Density of <strong>Bird</strong> Population 79 LIST OF BIRDS NESTING ON SECOND ACRE Song Sparrow i pair Screech Owl* (no young in nest Carolina Wren* i June 15, as brood had already Flicker* i Maryland Yellow-Throat . . . . i Brown Thrasher i House Wren* 4 Robin 2 Catbird i Chipping Sparrow i left) 1 pair Martins* 18 " Towhee i " Total 33 pairs English Sparrows o I attribute our success primarily to shooting the Sparrows and driving all cats away, to putting up many boxes, to keeping fresh water handy at all times, etc. We did everything we could for the comfort of our birds; for instance, we put on twigs little pieces of the oil-paper that our butter was wrapped in, and we left mud in convenient places for the Martins. The Catbirds used the oil- A MARTIN HOUSE IN THE MEADOW, ABOUT ONE HUNDRED YARDS FROM THE HOUSE It is advisable not to place the Martin box too near the house, for the birds begin to chatter long before dawn, and will awaken the household. MARTIN HOUSE IN THE HEN-YARD OCCUPIED BY TWENTY -FIVE PAIRS OF MARTINS IN 1914 AND 1915. The Martins are very efficient guardians of our chickens. I have often seen them drive the Hawks and Crows away. They hate Buzzards also.
