. Birds of Swope park in the heart of America, Kansas City, Birds. 50 BIRDS OF SWOPE PARK River. These were the only Prothonotary Warblers found in the Park as summer birds. The Rifle Range is no longer used as a shooting ground, and the region is quite undisturbed. The meadow is cut, but most of the Meadowlarks have left the nest before the mower disturbs them. The Dickcissels are not always so fortunate and many a nest is torn up by the hayrake. Note: In June, 1918, and therefore a later record than the regular census, I found a Grasshopper Sparrow collecting worms in the alfalfa meadow

Note: In June, 1918, and therefore a later record than the regular census, I found a Grasshopper Sparrow collecting worms in the alfalfa meadow. This brands it as a nesting bird for the region and adds another to the total for the Park. A week earlier I heard and saw a number in the meadow, and I have no doubt that a half dozen or Grasshopper Spar- rows nest regularly in the region, but they are so shy and have such a habit of sneaking under the grass and remaining out of sight that it is almost an accident to find 10 / nil oi the Ldiioou (111(1 Its Holder Land.
