Birds of Wakulla County, Florida 51 



One bird shot and another was seen April 10, 1915. I have 

 no further information relative to the occurrence of the species 

 here. 



165. Zonotrichia albicollis — White-throated Sparrow. 



Usually occurs every winter in small flocks, remaining into 

 April. November 15, 1917, April 21, 1914. 



166. Spizella passerina passerina — Chipping Sparrow. 



Probably a regular winter visitor in the higher parts of the 

 county. About St. Marks only seen occasionally. December 24, 

 1916, twenty or more seen near Wakulla. April 13, 1918, two seen 

 near St. Marks. 



167. Spizella pusilla pusilla — Field Sparrow. 



I have not found it a regular winter visitor. Another of the 

 numerous species that shun our low country contiguous to the 

 coast and are found more abundant even a few miles inland. 



168. Junco hyemalis hycmalis — Slate-colored Junco. 



My sole record was a single bird seen near Wakulla, six miles 

 north of St. Marks, on December 24, 1916. As the bird was not 

 taken there remains a doubt as to the exact form. 



169. Peuc(Ea cestivalis cestivalis — ^Pine-woods Sparrow. 

 Resident. Occurs in the more open piney woods sections and 



are most numerous in the higher, drier areas. Their sweet, in- 

 spiring little song is a charming bit of melody. 



170. Melospiza melodia melodio — Song Sparrow. 



A few are to be found every winter along shore and inland in 

 suitable localities. October 9, 1916, March 26, 1914. 



171. Melospiza georgiana — Swamp Sparrow. 



I do not find it numerous, but regularly every winter in the 

 marshes and about streams and ponds. November 21, 1913, May 

 9, 1916. 



172. Pipilo erythroptliahnus erytliroptTialmus — Towhee. 



Found well scattered during the winter season except in the 

 heavy timbered sections. April 10, 1918, May 3, 1919. 



173. Pipilo e. alleni — White-eyed Towhee. 



Resident. Quite numerous and widely distributed. Local 

 name, " Jo ree." 



174. Cardinalis cardmalis floridanus — Florida Cardinal. 



An abundant resident, frequenting wooded " Branches " and 

 borders of timbered areas. In winter flocks of ten to twenty or 

 more often occur. Young out of nest May 4, 1918. 



175. Passerina cyanea — Indigo Bunting. 



• A single specimen taken, June 21, 1913, constitutes my record 

 for the species here. 



176. Piranga rubra rubra — Summer Tanager. 



A rather numerous breeding species, frequenting pine groves
