48. Cycuwcitia cristaia forincoJa. Florida Blue Jay. A few were 

 observed about liaminocks, but not commonly. No nests found. 



49. Corvus brachyrhynclws pascuus. norida Crow. Abundant and 

 many nests seen. Eggs far advanced in incubation March 17th. 



50. Corvus ossifragus. Fish Crow. Found only in the vicinity of 

 rookeries, particularly at Corkscrew, where they do a great deal of 

 damage. Collected a set of five slightly incubated eggs March 28th, the 

 nest being in the bud of a slim pine. 



51. AgeJaius plweniceus florid-anus. Florida Eed-wing. Common on 

 the marshes and larger ponds. Nesting in April. 



52. Sfuri)eJla magna argutula. Southern Meadowlark. Abundant in 

 the open pine woods and prairies. Nesting dates: March 25th four 

 fresh eggs, Ajiril 4th three incubated eggs. 



53. Quiscahts qaiscula aglaeus. Florida Grackle. We found quite 

 a colony nesting in cavities in the cypress trees at Corkscrew March 20th, 

 and the latter part of April I found another group making use of sim- 

 ilar sites in a small cypress head. 



54. Megaquiscalufi major major. Boat-tailed Grackle. Observed nest- 

 ing in several ponds in early April. Common where it can find suitable 

 haunts. 



55. Ammodramiis savannarum floridanus. Florida. Grasshopper Spar- 

 row. Bather common on the prairies. I scratched up a lot of grass 

 looking for their nests when flushed at close range, but was no doubt 

 too early for them. 



56. PipiJo eryihrophtlialmxis alleni. White-eyed Towhee. Very local 

 and not common. About Immokalee quite a few were seen.

 near Fort Myers and about Immokalee, but almost entirely wanting in 

 the wilder sections.

 pair were nesting in woodpecker holes in a couple of dead pines near 

 Immokalee. 



59. Laiiius ludovicianus ludovicianus. Loggerhead Shrike. Observed 

 only in the orange groves at Immokalee.

 only a very few times. One nest found April 10th containing four fresh 

 eggs. 



61. Geothlypis trichas ignota. Florida Yellow-throat. Noted fre- 

 quently about the saw palmetto growth in the vicinity of Immokalee. 

 Apparently nesting about the middle of Ajiril. 



62. Mimus polyglottos polyglottos. Mockingbird. Like the Cardinal 

 the Mocker prefers the haunts of man. They were common at Immokalee, 

 but I don 't think I ever saw one in the wilder country. 



63. Thryotliorus ludovicianus miamensis. Florida Wren. A common 

 resident. I saw a nest in an old tin coffee can hanging on the side of 

 a shed at Immokalee April 4th. At Green's camp a pair built in the
