1912^ Notes on the Birds of Chapel Hill, IST. C. 31 



105. Hermit Thrush (Hylocichla guttata pallasi). 



This Thrush takes the place of the Wood Thrush when winter 

 approaches. It came on October 15 in 1907, and on November 

 2 in 1908. In 1909 the Hermit stayed until April 8. It is a 

 common winter bird but does not sing while here. 



106. Kobin (Planesticus migratorius) . 



A conspicuous resident on the campus, where it breeds. A 

 few remain at Chapel Hill all the year. In February and 

 March , however, the migrating birds reach here and their num- 

 bers increase very much. The Robin begins to sing toward the 

 end of January. 



107. Bluebird (Sialis sialis sialis). 



I found this bird common at Chapel Hill at all seasons of 

 the year. In February and March it is abundant on the campus.

 recorded at Chapel Hill.
