There is but a single record of this species for Louisiana, 

 and perliaps for the whole of the United States, with the ex- 

 ception of the northeastern portions. The specimen which 

 made this record was secured by myself on the outskirts of 

 Kew Orleans, September 12, ]888. The bird was mounted 

 and is now in the collection of JMr. Kohn. 

 333. Sialis sialis Liuii. lUiichinl. 



A constant and common resident throughout the state. 

 Since the extremely cold weather of February, 1895, their 

 numbers have been greatly reduced. During the breeding- 

 season this species decidedly prefers the pine regions to other 

 parts of the state.
