BIRDS OF ESSEX COUNTY. I I 



Of the true Canadian zone there are the following representatives : Cana- 

 dian Warbler, Winter Wren, Brown Creeper, Red-breasted Nuthatch, and 

 Golden-crowned Kinglet. This extension of breeding birds both from the north 

 and from the south adds to the interest of this region. 



As the County is on the seacoast it lies of course in one of the great high- 

 ways of bird migration, and the region of the ocean, the beaches, the dunes, and 

 the salt marshes all attract their special birds, and will be considered in the 

 following chapters.
