APPENDIX. 419 



" Wrens," Rusty Blackbirds, Titlarks, "Winter "Wrens, and 

 "Yellow-rump" Warblers, are generally abundant; and many 

 winter-birds arrive from the North. In the latter part, the 

 Sharp-tailed Finches and many Song Sparrows finally disap- 

 pear, and the Fox Sparrows come from the North. About the 



1st, the Brown Thrushes, Red-eyed Vireos (latest date, Oct. 

 3rd), and Towhce Buntings disappear, the Olive-backed 

 Thrushes arrive from the North, and the Crow Blackbirds (as 

 well as the variety of Bronzed Blackbirds) wander about in 

 large flocks. 



5th, the last Black- throated Green Warblers depart. 



10th, the last Pine Warblei's (latest date, however, Oct. 16th) 

 and Cat-birds depart. 



15th, the "Ciiippers," Field Sparrows, Pewees (latest date, 

 Oct. 16th), Wood Thrushes, and most of the Blue Birds, Cow- 

 birds, Meadow Larks, Purple Finches, Red-winged Blackbirds, 

 and Robins disappear. 



§ XI. November. 



During this month, many winter-birds usually come from the 

 North, and, as in spring, "bird-waves" may occur; Fox Spar- 

 rows are common, and Hermit Thrushes finally disappear. In 

 the early part of November, the last Bay-winged Buntings, 

 Blackbirds, Blue Birds, Savannah Sparrows, and Swamp Spar- 

 rows, move to the southward. I have seen Great-crested Fly- 

 catchers so late as Nov. 1st, and White-throated Sparrows on 

 the 14th. 



§ XII. December. 



I have seen Fox Sparrows, the last loiterers among our fall- 

 migrants, so late as the 9th of December. During this month, 

 additional winter-birds may arrive from the North ; and the 

 same birds generally occur here as in January (§1).
