570 Fleisher, Birds of S. E. North Carolina. [qcx. 



Colaptes auratus, subsp.? Flicker. Only one bird seen. 



Antrostomus carolinensis. Chuck-Will 's- Widow. A note heard 

 repeatedly in the night of April 17-18 was undoubtedly that of this species. 

 I did not see the bird nor had I heard the note before. 



Antrostomus vociferus vociferus. Whip-poor-will. I flushed a 

 whip-poor-will on April 17 at Southport. 



Chaetura pelagica. Chimney Swift. Two at Southport, April 17. 



Archilochus colubris. Ruby-throated Hummingbird. One at 

 Wilmington, April 14. 



Tyrannus tyrannus. Kingbird. Ten at Southport, April 17. 

 Eight at Orton, April 18. 



Myiarchus crinitus. Crested Flycatcher. About as common as 

 the preceding. This was one of the few passerine birds seen at Smith's 

 Island. I was told, however, that the woods were frequently "full of 

 small birds." 



Cyanocitta cristata cristata. Blue Jay. Seen only at Southport. 

 (About 15.) 



Corvus brachyrhynchos brachyrhynchos. Crow. This species was 

 less common than the next, the ratio being about 1 to 4. Sixty-five crows 

 of the two species were noted. 



Corvus ossifragus. Fish Crow. 



Agelaius phoeniceus phoeniceus. Red-winged Blackbird. One 

 seen at Smith's Island. 



Sturnella magna, subsp.? Meadowlark. A flock of 10 near Orton. 



Icterus spurius. Orchard Oriole. Three at Southport, April 17. 



Megaquisculus major major. Boat-tailed Grackle. About 12 

 in the salt marshes at Smith's Island. The notes appeared to me more 

 pleasing, or rather less discordant, than those of the Purple Grackle. 



Passer domesticus domesticus. House Sparrow. In the towns. 



Passerculus sandwichensis savanna. Savannah Sparrow. One, 

 on Smith's Island. 



Passerherbulus henslowi henslowi. Henslow's Sparrow. One, 

 at Southport. 



Zonotrichia albicollis. White-throated Sparrow. About 50 in 

 all. 



Spizella passerina passerina. Chipping Sparrow. Saw only 2 

 at Wilmington. 



Spizella pusilla pusilla. Field Sparrow. Only 4 seen. In fact, 

 the absence of Fringillidae as compared with the number present at this 

 season about New York was apparent. The notes were louder, less 

 whistled, more bell-like than those about New York. 



Pipilo erythrophthalmus erythrophthalmus. Towhee. A few. 



Cardinalis cardinalis cardinalis. Cardinal. Twelve. 



Passerina cyanea. Indigo Bunting. A male in transitional plumage 

 with a flock of migrating warblers, April 14.
