22 SUMMER BIRDS OF SULLIVAN AND WYOMING COUNTIES. 



Contopus virens, Wood Pewee. Abundant, 



Empidonax flaviventris, Yellow-bellied Flycatcher. Mr. O. Behr describes a 



flycatcher observed so me years ago, which was pretty certainly this species, 

 Empidonax minimus, Least Flycatcher. Common, 

 Otocoris alpestris praticola, Prairie Horned Lark. Occasional in the cleared 



open fields, but not regular. 

 Cyanocitta cristata, Blue Jay. Abundant. 

 Corvus corax principalis, Raven. Rare, 

 Corvus americanus, Crow, Abundant. 

 Dolichonyx oryzivorus, Bobolink. In open, cleared ground east of Lopez; not 



common. 

 Agelaius phoeniceus, Red-winged Blackbird. In open, swampy ground, and 



consequently not widely distributed. 

 Sturnella magna, Meadow Lark. Common in cleared ground. 

 Icterus galbula, Baltimore Oriole, Not common, 

 Carpodacus purpureus, Purple Finch. Regular, but not very common, 

 Loxia curvirostra minor, Crossbill. Reported to have bred once; occurs in 



summer. 

 Astragalinus tristis, Goldfinch. Common, 

 Spinus pinus, Pine Finch. Has bred, but not regularly, 

 Pocecetes gramineus, Vesper Sparrow. Abundant. 

 Ammodramus sandwichensis savanna, Savanna Sparrow. Abundant, 

 Ammodramus savannarum passerinus, Grasshopper Sparrow? A bird shot 

 some years ago in summer by Dr, B. H, Warren was thought to be the Hens- 

 low's Sparrow, but the locality seems quite out of the range of that species, and 

 it was perhaps the Grasshopper Sparrow. Whichever it was, it is certainly of 

 rare occurrence. [W. S.] 

 Zonotrichia albicollis, White-throated Sparrow, A male of this species was 

 found in full song on the edge of a high open pasture among a scattered growth 

 of pines on June 19, 1898. It evidently had a nest nearby, but a careful search 

 failed to discover it. The Messrs, Behr assure me that they never saw the bird 

 in summer previously, and a visit to the same locality the following year failed to 

 discover any more. This species was probably of more regular occurrence in 

 the summer in former years. 

 Spizella socialis, Chipping Sparrow. Common, 

 Spizella pusilla. Field Sparrow, Common. 

 Junco hyemalis. Snow Bird, Very common. 

 Melospiza fasciata, Song Sparrow. Common. 

 Melospiza georgiana, Swamp Sparrow. Fairly common. 

 Pipilo erythrophthalmus, Chewink, Formerly very rare, but increasing where the 



timber is cut, though not yet very common. 

 Zamelodia ludoviciana, Rose-breasted Grosbeak. Common, 

 Cyanospiza cyanea, Indigo-bird. Not common. 

 Piranga erythromelas. Scarlet Tanager. Abundant. 

 Petrochelidon lunifrons, Ci iff Swallow, Common, 

 Hirundo erylhrogaster, Barn .Swallow. Common. 

 Tachycineta bicolor, Tree Swallow. Rather common. 

 Clivicola riparia, Bank Swallow. Not common.
