215. PLANESTICUS MIGRATORIUS ACHRUSTERUS 



(Batchelder) . 



Southern Robin. 



"Common. Winter resident. First appeared in this 

 locality this fall, on October 19. Two pairs of robins 

 nested the past season in the yard of John L. Cobbs, state 

 treasurer, in the city of Montgomery. The young were 

 reared, and they remained with their parents in the yard 

 of Mr. Cobbs all the summer and were still there in 

 October, as was reported to me on inquiring. This is 

 the first instance known to me of the robins nesting so 

 far south. If these birds are not shot this winter, they 

 may remain to breed again next year; and we may have 

 the interesting spectacle of a colony of robins in a south- 

 ern city." (1891c) . This colony did not materialize, how- 

 ever, and the record remains unique.
