60 Allen, Summer Birds of Southern Vermont. [jan. 



and Albany, 1901) says that Mr. G. H. Ross of Rutland has found this 

 species nesting in Sherburne; and Mr. Ross, in his 'List of Birds observed 

 in Rutland County,' says, "One nesting record, Pico Peak, Sherburne."] 



[Picoides americanus. American Three-toed Woodpecker. — Mr. 

 R. H. Howe, Jr.'s, Review of Perkins's List (Contributions to N. A. Orni- 

 thology, II, 5-23, 1902) gives tliis bird as a summer resident on Pico Peak 

 above 2500 feet on the authority of Mr. Ross. Mr. Ross, in his own 

 List (op. cit.), merely says, "Have seen it in summer on Pico Peak." 

 Probably neither of the Three-toed Woodpeckers is at all common in this 

 region. In two ascents of Killington Peak and one of Pico I saw none.] 



15. Sphyrapicus varius. Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. — Pretty com- 

 mon; probably the commonest woodpecker of the region. 



[Ceophloeus pileatus abieticola. Northern Pileated Woodpecker. — • 

 I think I saw one of these birds at L. in 1895, and I found peck-holes of 

 the species at W. B., though none that were very fresh. It should 

 probably be classed as a rare resident in this region.] 



16. Colaptes auratus luteus. Northern Flicker. — Rather common 

 at L. Only two observed at W. B. 



17. Chordeiles virginianus. Nighthawk. — Rather common at L. 

 None observed at W. B., though I found them common at Woodstock, a 

 dozen miles to the east. 



18. Chaetura pelagica. Chimney Swift. — Abundant. 



19. Trochilus colubris. Ruby-throated Hummingbird. — Two at 

 L., 1886; none there in 1895. Five at W. B. 



20. Tyrannus tyrannus. Kingbird. — Rather common at L. Not 

 very common at W. B. 



21. Myiarchus crinitus. Crested Flycatcher. — Not very common 

 at either locahty. I found a pair at an altitude of about 2000 feet in the 

 town of Sherburne, in a lumberman's clearing in the woods. I also observed 

 two other individuals in different localities in the neighborhood of W. B. 



22. Sayornis phoebe. Phcebe. — Common. 



23. Nuttallornis borealis. Olive-sided Flycatcher. — Rather com- 

 mon. 



24. Contopus virens. Wood Pewee. — Common. 



25. Empidonax flaviventris. Yellow-bellied Flycatcher. — Not 

 common. A few observed at L., 1895; none identified at W. B. 



26. Empidonax traillii alnorum. Alder Flycatcher. — Uncommon 

 at L. Rather common at W. B. 



27. Empidonax minimus. Least Flycatcher. — Rather common at 

 L. Common at W. B. 



28. Cyanocitta cristata. Blue Jay. — Rather common. 



29. Corvus brachyrhynchos. American Crow. — Common at L. ; 

 less so at W. B. 



30. DoUchonyx oryzivorus. Bobolink. — Common at L. ; less so at 

 W. B. on account of scarcity of good breeding-places. 



31. Agelaius phoeniceus. Red-winged Blackbird. — Rather common.
