"Hi The Wilson Bulletin — No. 50. 



a record of five young birds not fully feathered having been caught 

 in a trap set for hawks and owls in a pasture. 



21. Asio wilsonianus. Am. Long-eared Owl. A rare summer res- 

 ident. 



22. Syrnium varium. Barred Owl. Formerly a rather common 

 resident but now rapidly disappearing. 



23. Megascops asio. Screech Owl. A not uncommon resident; 

 rapidly decreasing in numbers. 



24. Bubo virginianus. Great Horned Owl. Never common, but 

 now almosl entirely exterminated locally. I doubt if a pair breeds 

 nearer than ten miles of Summit. It has, however, been captured, 

 during the early winter (December and January) in steel traps set 

 on posts in meadows near Summit within the last year or two, and 

 it may breed in the wilder portion of the county. 



25. Coccyzus americanus. Yellow-billed Cuckoo. A rather com- 

 mon summer resident; more abundant some years than others. 



26. Coccyzus erythrophthalmus. Black-billed Cuckoo. Not as 

 common as the preceeding, and equally erratic. 



27. Ceryle alcyon. Belted Kingfisher. A rather common sum- 

 mer resident: nesting in all suitable localities. 



28. Dryobates villosus. Hairy Woodpecker. A rather rare sum- 

 mer resident. 



29. Dryobates pubescens medianus. Downy Woodpecker. A 

 common summer resident. 



30. Melanerpes erythrocephalus. Red-headed Woodpecker. Lo- 

 cally common. 



31. Colaptes auratus luteus. Northern Flicker. The commonest 

 breeding woodpecker. 



32. Arnrotosmus vociferus. Whip-poor-will. Formerly a common 

 summer resident, but I have no record of any having been seen in 

 the summer for the past fifteen years. 



33. Chactura pelagica. Chimney Swift. An abundant summer 

 resident. 



34. Trochilus colubris. Ruby-thrcated Hummingbird. A com- 

 mon summer resident. 



35. Tyrannus tyrannus. Kingbird. A common summer resident, 



36. Myiarchus crinitus. Crested Flycatcher. Rather common 

 in woodland. 



37. Sayornis phosbe. Phoebe. An abundant summer resident. 



38. Ccntcpus virens. Wood Pewee. A common summer resi- 

 dent in woodland. 



39. Empidonax minimus. Least Flycatcher. A rather rare sum- 

 mer resident. 



40. Cyanocitta cristata. Blue Jay. Abundant. 



41. Ccr\us brachyrhynchos. American Crow. Abundant. 



42. Dolichonyx oryzivorus. Bobolink. Locally common. Ap- 

 parently decreasing in numbers.
