Marshall, 1941 General Coonost 7.5 mi. S Cannon Beach, Clatsop Co., Ore. Florens Dendroica auduboni * Melospiza melodia Regulus satrapa As is to be expected - there were more of the resident birds at advanced breeding stage than summer visitors. In accounted for this early nesting - I note that the natives of the region were unanimous in declaring that the winter had been a very mild one with warm sunny weather prevailing. The worst storm of the season had been the one which we experienced upon our arrival on the 17th. Thus there was a very early spring & resident birds could have started nesting early - but how account for the summer birds? All the birds in the area are in breeding condition & are settled here except for two - Ward shot a savannah sparrow in the chapinal which had small gonads & much fat - evidently migrating;
