226. PENTHESTES ATRICAPILLUS ATRICAPILLUS (Linnwus). 
CHICKADEE. (735) 
A rather common winter visitor in all the counties, coming down from 
farther north late in the fall and remaining until spring. Not always 
distinguished from the Carolina chickadee. Ava Evermann gives the fol- 
lowing record from Burlington: November 17, 1906, two seen. January 5, 
1907, several seen in woods with nuthatches, titmice, and woodpeckers; 
October 28, one heard in woods. 
227. PENTHESTES CAROLINENSIS CAROLINENSIS (Audubon). 
CAROLINA CHICKADEE. (736) 
Common permanent resident in all the counties. Could be seen any day 
in the year. Nests in old sapsucker holes or other cavities in dead trees or 
even in fence-posts and other similar situations. 
228. REGULUS SATRAPA SATRAPA Lichtenstein. 
GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLET. (748) 
A rather common late fall and early spring migrant; a few remain all 
winter. In the winter of 1882-5, a pair remained in a grove of evergreens 
at the Turner place just west of Bloomington. 
Carroll County: Specimens collected at Camden, November, 1877; two 
secured April 9, 1885, common three days later. Miss Evermann on October 
27, 1907, saw two in a little hawthorn bush near Burlington. They were 
very busy looking for insects and insect eggs and paid no attention to ob- 
servation. On November 12, one flew into the porch against a screen, then 
to an apple tree where, after regaining its strength, it began to search for 
insects and eggs or other food. 
Vigo County: March 27, 1888, one seen; noted again March 31 and April 
1; April 17, one got east of the fair grounds. April 12, 1890, a male got on 
Honey Creek. 
Monroe County: February 10. 18838, four or five seen in Turner’s grove. 
229. REGULUS CALENDULA CALENDULA (Linneus). 
RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET. (749) 
Like the preceding, a not uncommon late fall and early spring migrant in 
all the counties. 
Carroll County: October 5, 1878, one taken near Camden, October 12, 
three collected ; October 19, one secured. 
Vigo County: April 19, 1888, five or six noted and a pair (male and fe- 
male) taken west of Ts:re Haute; April 21, a male taken on Honey Creek ; 
April 12, 1890, a male taken on Honey Creek; April 28, a male shot on the 
“commons” south of Terre Haute. 
Monroe County: Noted often in late fall and early spring, especially in 
Turner’s grove.
