57. Ruby-throated Hummingbird. Archilocus colubris (Linn.). 

 Seen several times about the flower gardens in Marshall, and 



once at Port Caddo. 



58. Kingbird. Tyrannus tyrannus (Linn.). 



Common about Marshall; less so near the lake. Nest and eggs 

 found at Star Ranch. 



59. Crested Flycatcher. Myiarchus crinitus (Linn.). 



One seen at Jefferson (Marion county), just over the Harrison 

 county line, at the northwest end of the lake. 



60. Phoebe. Sayornis phoe'be (Lath.). 



Common breeding species about Marshall and the cabins in 

 that vicinity. Nesting near Star Ranch. 



61. Wood Pewee. MyiocJianes virens (Linn.). 



Found breeding in the open woods near Star Ranch. More com- 

 mon in the woodlots about Marshall. 



62. Blue Jay. Cyanocitta cristata cristata (Linn.). 



An abundant — and noisy — breeding species throughout the re- 

 gion, though less common about the lake than elsewhere. 



63. Crow. Corvns irachyrhyncJios bracfiyrJiynchos Brehm. 

 Common breeding species throughout the region. 



64. Cowbird. Molotlirus atcr (iter (Bodd.). 



Rather common breeding species, eggs having been found in 

 one case in the nest of the Prothonotary warbler. 



65. Red-winged Blackbird. Agclaiiis phocnicciis phocniccus {Ijinn.) . 

 Common breeder, though apparently rather local in distribu- 

 tion. Lack of good breeding grounds explains the scarcity to a 

 considerable extent. Nesting on Tow-head Island. 



66. Meadowlark. Sturnella viagna magna (Linn.). 



Rather common about Marshall, but wanting from the imme- 

 diate vicinity of the lake. The w^riter could get no evidence of 

 any subspecies in the vicinity, though he believes ii possible that 

 8. neglccta may also occur in the region. A breeding species.

Seen in numbers about Marshall. At Star Ranch a nest con- 

 taining eggs was found in a young cypress tree, fully three hun- 

 dred yards from the nearest shore. 



68. Baltimore Oriole. Icterus gallula (Linn.). 



Apparently not common. An old nest was found at the out- 

 skirts of Marshall, but no birds were seen.

 Common about the smaller towns and in the outskirts of Mar- 

 shall. Not seen at the lake. Breeding in oak trees.
