Probably a regular winter resident, as I have several records 

 from November 30 to March 14. 



206. Semrtis novc'boracensis noinboraccnsis — Water-Thrush. 

 Occurs regularly in suitable localities during migrations. 



207. Seiurus motacilla — Louisiana Water-Thrush.

208. Oporornis formosus — Kentucky Warbler. 



Migrant. On April 4, 1917, while visiting a large colony of 

 Little Blue Herons, I was pleased to see one of these birds at close 

 range. 



209. Oporornis agilis — Connecticut Warbler. 



On September 21, 1916, at a distance not exceeding twenty feet, 

 I watched one of these birds feeding in a clump of weeds. This is 

 the only one seen here. 



210. Geothlypis trichas ignota — Florida Yellow-throat. 

 Resident. This species of cheerful song frequents the vicinity 



of rivers, bayous and ponds where there is an abundance of grasses 

 and bushy growth. April 12. 1919. nest with four fresh eggs. 



211. Wilsonia citrina — Hooded Warbler. 



A regular but not abundant spring and fall migrant. April S, 

 1915, September 24, 1914. 



212. Wilsonia canadensis — Canada Warbler. 



I had not seen the species here until the present year (1919). 

 May 2 a 2 was noted in yard at the lighthouse and a J' was ob- 

 served in our village limits May 5, 1919. 



213. Setophaga rnticilla — Redstart. 



Seemingly it occurs regularly on migrations, but not in num- 

 bers. September 30, 1917. May 2, 1919. 



214. Anthus rubescens — Pipit. 



At times this bird of the far north appears in considerable 

 numbers, while again we do not see it during an entire winter. 

 November 2, 1916, March 25, 1914. 



215. Minus pohjglottos polyglottos — Mockingbird. 



Very generally distributed except in the heavily wooded re- 

 gions. The song season commences by late February or early 

 March and continues except for a brief spell until late September. 

 During the last of July and in August they have a silent season, 

 but later are again in good tune. They are very destructive to 

 strawberries where but small quantities of this fruit is grown. 



216. Dumetella carolinensi s—Ca.ihird. 



This bird does not seem to be numerous in our county and 

 thus far I have failed to note it as a nesting bird. A few only 

 appear to spend the colder season here. October 1, 1917, January 

 16, 1914, May 3, 1919.
