Taverner and Swales — On Point Pelee Birds. 127 



ary line. It is common on the Ohio shore across from Pelee, 

 and why it has not crossed over with the Cardinal and Caro- 

 lina Wren is one of the interesting problems of distribution. 



Green-cres'ied Flycatcher. 



The Green-crested Flycatcher has much the same general 

 distribution on the American side of the line as the Tufted Tit- 

 mouse, and like it, has never been taken in Ontario. There are 

 ample and most promising looking woods for it all over the 

 Point but in spite of a close scrutiny* of almost every small 

 flycatcher seen, it has escaped our observation so far. 



Golden-winged Warbler. 



This is one of the commonest summer residents among the 

 warblers on the Michigan side of the Internatiomal line, and an 

 almost abundant 'migrant, but we have met with it but very 

 sparingly at the Point. 



On the other hand, there are cases where the tables are re- 

 versed, and there are a number of species more or less common 

 on the Point that we, on the INIichigan side of the line, seldom 

 see. We will leave out most of the shore birds as they are 

 plainly governed by the topographical surroundings, naming 

 only : 



Golden and Black-bellied Plover. 



These have been: mentioned before by the writers. (Auk 

 1907, p. 140). We have met the Golden Plover twice on the 

 Point. There are several good records for the species in num- 

 bers on the Ontario side of Lake Ontario, but very few of them 

 for adjoining ]\Iichigan localities. The Black-bellied is a little 

 more common with us but is still but an irregular straggler; 

 while at the Point it is both regular and common. 



American Goshawk. 



This species we have also enlarged upon im this connection 

 in the before-cited paper. The flight of this species the fall of 

 1906, that extended over eastern Ontario and invaded Point Pe- 

 lee in considerable numbers, seemed hardly to extend beyond 

 the International boundary in Michigan, but few birds pene- 

 trating beyond the first tier of counties. 



Black-poll Warbler. 



This was also treated of in the before-mentioned citation.
