138. Tyranmus tyrannus — Kingbird. 



Quite numerous about our villages as well as in the more open 

 country generally. One pair building as late as July 18, 1915. 

 Young left this nest August 22. In flocks of two hundred to three 

 hundred or more during September as they travel southward. 

 March 24, 1918. October 4, 1918. 



139. Tyrannus dominicensis — Gray Kingbird.* 



I have never seen this bird far from the coast and have only 

 found it nesting within sight of the wide waters of our gulf. May 

 22, 1913, fresh eggs, June 6, 1915, young in nest almost grown, 

 September 26, 1917. 



140. Myiarchus crinitus — Crested Flycatcher.* 



A noisy inhabitant of our villages and plantations and fre- 

 quently nest at the border of timberlands. I have found them 

 nesting in Martin boxes, in deserted dwellings, between a metal 

 roofing and the under board sheathing, in stovepiping protruding 

 through buildings, and in the broken corner of the porch of an 

 occupied dwelling, but they usually select the deserted home of 

 a Woodpecker. Local name, " Yellowhammer." April 1, 1918, Sep- 

 tember 23, 1913. • 



141. Gayornis phoebe — Phoebe. 



Unlike many of our winter visitors from the North the Phoebe 

 continues his gentle tones while with us, the while keeping time 

 with swaying tail. October 1, 1917, April 4, 1915. 



142. Empidona-x flaviventris — Yellow-bellied Flycatcher. 

 Migrant. Dr. T. S. Palmer of the Biological Survey, identi- 

 fied the only living specimen I have seen as we passed through a 

 small "island" a half mile back of our light house. May 2, 1919. 



143. MyiocJianes virens — Wood Pewee. 



Summer resident. Not found here abundantly, but rather 

 regularly distributed outside of the low timbered areas. April 15. 

 1918, October 15, 1916. 



144. Empidonax virescens — Acadian Flycatcher. 



Summer resident. Only found in limited numbers nesting 

 along the river bottoms or in heavy timber bordering a pond or 

 stream. 



145. Cyanocitta cristata florincola — Florida Blue Jay. 

 Resident. Numerous throughout the county, frequenting vil- 

 lages and timbered tracts along streams and about ponds as well
