59. Thryothorus ludovicianus. Carolina Wren. — As conspicuous 

 and musical as the Cardinal. 



60. Troglodytes aedon. House Wren. — This winter visitor was still 

 present, some half dozen being noted. 



61. Hylocichla mustelina. Wood Thrush. — We noted only two or 

 three. The first came March 26. 



62. Hylocichla guttata pallasii. Hermit Thrush. — Had become very 

 scarce. We were constantly watching for them, but saw only two. 



63. Polioptila caerulea. Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. — Though the date 

 of its general arrival had long passed, it was not particularly common 

 this day. 



64. Regulus calendula. Ruby-crowned Kinglet. — Saw only cuie, 

 probably the last, though the species has often been seen a week later, 

 and on one occasion as late as April 18. 



Several species that we might readily have expected to see 

 were : 



1. Laughing Gull (Lams atricilla). Had disappeared from the river 

 rather earlier than usual for its breeding grounds on the coast. 



2. Wood Duck (^4« s/(?«.w). 



3. White Ibis (Guara alba). 



4. Great Blue Heron (Ardea kerodias). 



5. Green Heron (Butorides virescens). 



6. Pectoral Sandpiper (Actodromas maculata). 



7. Bartramian Sandpiper (Bartramia longicattda). 

 S. Belted Kingfisher (Ceryle alcyon). 



9. Painted Bunting (Cyanospiza ciris). 



10. Rough-winged Swallow (Stelgidopteryx serripennis). 



11. Loggerhead Shrike (Lanius ludovicianus). 



12. American Pipit (Anthus pensilvanicus). 



All the water birds mentioned above and a half dozen more we 

 should have been practically certain of noting had we been able 

 to include in our itinerary some of the marsh and water surfaces 

 of the parish, so that a spring list of 75 species in Southeast 

 Louisiana would be by no means impossible to establish, though 

 I should never expect to see that number exceeded.
