L April 



141. Zonotrichia leucophrys. White-crowned Sparrow. — A rather 

 rare migrant. These are all the dates I have for Cumberland : April 26, 

 1901, two pairs ; May 2 and 7, 1902; May 4 and 13, 1903; and Oct. 12, 



1901. No records for the higher sections. 



142. Zonotrichia albicollis. — White-throated Sparrow. — Common 

 Mar. 21 (1903) to May 2 (1900), and Sept. 25 (1900) to Oct. 25 (1902). 



143. Melospiza lincolni. Lincoln's Sparrow. — Rare migrant; I 

 took one Oct. 19, 1900. 



144. Passerella iliaca. Fox Sparrow. — Not as common as Z. albi- 

 collis, jet by no means rare. March 14 (1901) to April 6 (1903), and 

 Oct. 27 (1900) to Nov. 4 (1900). 



145. Vireo philadelphicus. Philadelphia Vireo. — Very rare ; took 

 one May 8, 1901, when there was a big bird wave on Will's Mountain, 

 Cumberland. 



146. Helminthophila ruficapilla. Nashville Warbler. — I saw none 

 of this species until May 3, 1902, when Will's Mountain was full of them. 



147. Helminthophila peregrina. Tennessee Warbler. — The only 

 date I have for this rare species is May 6, 1901, when Mr. V. Laney 

 took one for me. 



14S. Dendroica tigrina. Cape May Warbler. — Numerous in fall 

 migration. Sept. 21 {1900) to Oct. 27 (1900), mostly- young. May 21, 



1902, is the only spring date I have. 



149. Dendroica coronata. Myrtle Warbler. — Scarce; have 

 two dates only : May 5, 1900, and Oct. 25, 1900. 



150. Dendroica castanea. Bay-breasted Warbler. — Rare; saw 

 one May 8, 1902, and another May 17, 1902. 



151. Dendroica striata. Black-poll Warbler. — Plentiful on certain 

 days during migration. It is a late comer in spring; May 16, 1903, and 

 May 18, 1901, the woods were full of them. In fall, Oct. 2, to Oct. 19 ; 

 only young ones seem to come through here. This year (1903) some 

 lingered at Cumberland till May 21. 



152. Dendroica palmarum. Palm Warbler. — Very rare; saw and 

 took one only, May 3, 1902. 



153. Geothlypis formosa. Kentucky Warbler. — Very rare here, 

 while it was a common breeder at my former home near Pittsburg, Pa. 

 Have two dates only, Sept. 22 and 29, 1899. 



154. Wilsonia pusilla. Wilson's Warbler. — Rather scarce. Sept. 

 4 (1901) to Sept. 21 (1900).. No spring dates. 



155. Regulus calendula. Ruby-crowned Kinglet. — -I believe this 

 comes near to being a winter resident, if it not actually is one. Kinglets 

 may be seen all winter, mostly R. satrapa to be sure, but undoubtedly 

 there are some of this species with them. Oct. 19 (1900) to May 3 (1902). 



156. Hylocichla aliciae. — Gray-checked Thrush. — Rare. Sept. 15 

 (1902) to Oct. 6 (1900). No spring dates. 



157. Hylocichla ustulatus swainsonii. Olive-backed Thrush. — 

 Common only in fall migration. Sept. 9 (1901) to Oct. 6 (1900). It is 

 then colored red inside and outside with the juice of the pokeberry.
