A LIST OF THE BIRDS OF LEXINGTON, MASSACHUSETTS 1
It is my hope that, with the exceptions noted below, the following list includes not only all the species of birds which occur in Lexing- ton at the present time, but those species as well which during the last fifty years have ceased to frequent the town.
In dealing with an area as small as Lexington one is hampered by the absence of records for the town of some of the rarer birds which are known to occur in the vicinity. For this reason, although with- out much doubt they rarely visit Lexington, I have omitted from the list three hawks, - the red-tailed, the rough-legged, and the duck hawk, and the barred owl.
In the case of the birds which no longer visit the town, and in the case of those species which, although they still occur in Lexington, have recently decreased in abundance, I have made clear the dis- tinction between their former and their present status by enclosing in parentheses all records which do not apply to the present time.
Mr. Walter Faxon has very kindly aided me in the preparation of the list.
I have used the following abbreviations: -
PR=Permanent Resident T V2=Transient Visitor SR=Summer Resident
W V = Winter Visitor A = Abundant C= Common
U= Uncommon R= Rare I = Irregular
X = Of casual or accidental occurrence s= spring
( )=Read "formerly" a= autumn
