128 The Ottawa Naturalist [January 



Catbird, Dumetella carolinensis Linn.; rare; observed only twice, once 

 at Opeongo Lake, and once at Island Lake. 



Brown Thrasher, Toxostoma rufum Linn.; rare; one observed in Park 

 at Joe Lake and two on outskirts of Park near South River 

 and Egan Estate. 



House Wren, Troglodytes a'edon aedon Vieill. ; common. 



Winter Wren, N annus hiemalis hiemalis Vieill.; abundant. 



Brown Creeper, Certhia familiaris americana Bonap.; not common; 

 nest seen once, at Canoe Lake, in bark of large dead hemlock in 

 fioodwater about three feet up from water level; at distance of 

 about five yards heard its rather melodious song, a clear high- 

 pitched whistle of five distinct notes, and first and third long, 

 the other three short. 



Red-breasted Nuthatch, Sitta canadensis Linn. ; common. 



Chickadee, Penthestes atricapillus atricap'illus Linn. ; common. 



Golden-crowned Kinglet, Regidus satrapa satrapa Licht. ; rare; seen 

 only once, at Merchant's to White Trout Lake portage. 



Wood Thrush, Hylocichla mustelina Gmel. ; not common; never seen, 

 but heard pretty clearly on several occasions; once when heard 

 a half-breed at Manitou Lake with whom I was talking at the 

 time told me the bird had a 'red head.' 



Veery, Hylocichla fuscescens fuscescens Steph. ; fairly common. 



Olive-backed Thrush, Hylocichla ustulata swainsoni Tschudi; abun- 

 dant; nests. 



Hermit Thrush, Hylocichla guttata pallasi Cab.; faily common. 



Robin, Planesticus migratorius migratorius Linn.; not common; nest. 



Bluebird, Sialia sialis sialis Linn.; uncommon. 



1. Mr. Bartlett, the Park Superintendent, has in his office a 

 specimen of the Golden Eagle, Aquila chrysaetos; the bird took wolf 

 poison near Tea Lake (Big Tea in n. part of Park) the winter of 

 1908-9. 



2. Mr. Waters, one of the older rangers, and a man who knows 

 the Algonquin birds perhaps better than any one else, told me that the 

 Great Horned Owl, Bubo virginianus virginianus Gmel. is found in 

 the Park. 



3. Dr. Claghorne, a former forest ranger, told me that he had 

 seen the Baltimore Oriole, Icterus galbula Linn., near Cache Lake in 

 the spring of 1911 and had found the Cliff Swallow, Petrochelidon 

 lunifrons lunifrons Say, on the Madawaska River. 



4. The Alder Flycatcher, Empidonax trailli alnorum, and the 

 Yellow-bellied Flycatcher, E. flaviventris, probably both breed in the 

 Park, but I have never been sufficiently sure of their songs and would 

 not feel safe in identifying them in the bush. 



5. Mergus, common, but whether americanus or serrator am 

 uncertain. Oddly enough have never observed a male in the Park, 

 though the female was seen nearly every day.
