Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Birds of Springfield and Vicinity
With all the reliable text books on New England birds, a local list may seem to many uncalled for, but we sometimes find bird life different in short distances. For instance, less than fifty miles to the south and west of Springfield, there is a de cided change in Summer residents, in the latter direction undoubtedly accounted for by reason of variation in altitude, but in the former the reason is hot'so apparent, at least why the difference should be so marked in so short a distance and with practically the same Hora, temperature, and altitude.

Excerpt from The Birds of Springfield and Vicinity
The Hydrographic valley of the Connecticut at Springfield is about sixty miles wide, and the river here is somewhat east of the center of the basin. The State of Connecticut lies three and a half miles south of Springfield, the town of Longmeadow intervening. Thirteen miles to the west, a mountain range rises abruptly from the level land at Westfield, continuing beyond to the Housatonic Valley, forming a portion of the so-called Berkshire hills, and running north until it joins the Green mountains in Vermont. The highest point of this range in Hampden Count is "Round Top" in Chester, which reaches an altitude of 1800 feet. About ten miles to the east of Springfield lies a range of considerably less height, which is locally called the "Wilbraham Hills," and extends north to New Hampshire, where it merges into the White mountain range. Five miles to the west of Springfield is a series of Hills, 400 to 900 feet in height, of trap rock formation, which continues up the valley and crosses the river, south of the greater part of Northampton. Here the hills are higher, Mount Tom and Nonotuck on the west side, and Holyoke on the east, reaching an altitude of about 1200 feet.
The Connecticut River at Springfield is but forty feet above tide water, and except in time of freshet, is a sluggish stream, averaging about 1200 feet in width. The important branches in this vicinity are the Chicopee, Mill and Scantic Rivers, that enter from the east, and Westfield and Farmington Rivers, that come from the west, and the largest natural landlocked body of water is Lake Congamond in Southwick, which covers about 410 acres. In nearly all the towns there are small ponds, both natural and artificial.
The land of the river towns is sparsely timbered, being mostly under cultivation.
