The first list of Campus birds was published by the Wheaton Club in the
“Agricultural Student” for March, 1898. Since that time a number of
additional species have been reported and it has been thought advisable
to republish the entire list, inserting the additions in their proper
places. The list below contains 137 species. It is compiled from the
records of the Wheaton Club, excepting those species for which Prof. J.
R. Taylor is given credit. Only those species of which nests, eggs, or
fledgelings have been observed are reported as breeding. The names are
preceded by the A. O. U. check list number. Further additions will be
published from time to time.
