Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birds of the Chicago Area The fine city parks of Chicago are the most favorable localities in which the birds may be studied with afield glass. The wooded island in Jackson Park is an excellent place for the study of the water loving passeres, such as the Prothonotary Warbler, Water Thrushes and Swamp Sparrows. Lincoln Park (see plate II) one and one-half miles long, bordering on Lake Michigan, with its lagoons and lakes, numerous wooded knolls and hills, is a wonderfully attractive locality for the study of birds. On Septem ber 18, 1894, in one small patch of bushes near the greenhouse, I found twelve Specimens of the Connecticut Warbler.
