203. [731] BieoJophvs bicolor CLinn.). Tufted Titmouse.* 



Abundant resident. Nestbuilding April 12, 1903; May 7, 1901. 

 An ubiquitous species with a great variety of calls and songs. 



204:. [735] Parus atricapillvs Linn. Cliickadee.* 



Seen here only as a winter visitor. November 7 to May 15. It is 

 pi'obably not a common winter resident, though so reported by C. H. Boll- 

 man ('86). W. S. Blatchley says it was as common a winter resident, 

 and B. W. Evermann says it was as common a resident as P. caroUnetisis 

 in 1886. N. B. Myers says a few breed, but most of them go north. The 

 latter records are probably due to confusion with the next species. All 

 the specimens in the University collection have been examined and only 

 one from this locality that was labeled P. atricapillvs was identified 

 correctly. Tliere are, however, several unlabeled ones which come under 

 this species. Its true status is that of an uncommon winter visitor.
