This forenoon the Stones took us out by trolley about 8 miles west of Philadelphia -- open farming country with tracts of woods here and there and now and then a little street bordered by stucco or wct houses.
We took a circuit of about three miles, zigzagging slowly. The first hour we were most active, and from 9:30 to 10:30, by exact pencil census, noted the following:
Song Sparrow 4, English Sparrow 4,
Field Sparrow 2, Purple Grackle 2,
Great Crested Flycatcher 2, Swift 10,
