46 JOURNAL OF THE 
Red-bird. An abundant and conspicuous denizen of the 
groves and orchards insummer. It constructs a nest of leaves, 
small strips of bark, and grass, situated usually on a hori- 
zontal limb from ten to twenty feet from the ground.

Family Hirundinidae. 
81. PROGNE suBIs (Linn.) Purple Martin. Have seen 
only a few. These came as spring migrants. They would 
likely spend the summer and breed, if suitable nesting places, 
such as bird boxes on poles, were furnished them. I know of 
none that nest here, nearer than eight miles from town. Dr. 
Kemp P. Battle informs me that forty years ago these birds 
were common summer residents. 
82. CHELIDON ERYTHROGASTER (Bodd.) Barn Swallow. 
Common transient. 
83. TACHYCINETA BICOLOR (Vieill.) - Tree Swallow; White- 
bellied Swallow. A common spring migrant. 
84. STELGIDOPTERYX SERRIPENNIS (Oud.) Rough-winged 
Swallow. A summer visitor. Eggs secured by Mr. McNider 
from a hole in a clay bank in June 1899, I believe to be of this 
species, 
Family Ampelidae. 
. 85, AMPELIS CEDRORUM (Vieill.) Cedax Waxwing : Cedar- 
bird. The sad lisping notes of the cedar-bird is one of the 
most common sounds in the winter forest. The birds at this 
season usually associate in flocks of a few dozen individuals, 
and are often found clinging to the boughs of cedar trees, the 
berries of which they are very fond of eating. It probably 
nests here. 
Family Laniidae. 
86. LANIUS LUDOVICIANUS (Linn.) Loggerhead Shrike. 
Rather a rare winter visitor. I have observed six individuals 
at Chapel Hill. 
Family Vireonidae. 
87. VIREO OLIVACEUS (Linn.) Red-eyed Vireo; ‘‘Hanging 
bird.” A common summer form.
