chuck- will's- widow, blue jay, black-poll warbler, ovenbird, 



tufted titmouse, and wood thrush. In fact, so far as the 



Museum is aware, the chuck- will's- widow and the wood 



thrush have never before been observed in the city. A pair 



of blue jays which nested and reared their young on the 



campus during the past spring and summer furnish the 



only known instance of the breeding of this species in the 



city.
