Vol 'wi9 XVI J Williams, Birds of Goose Creek, Fla. 55 



61. Spizella passerina passerina. Chipping Sparrow. — Numerous 

 in an old corn field about two miles back of East Goose Creek. 



62. Melospiza melodia melodia. Song Sparrow. — A few were met 

 with in all the sections visited, except the densely timbered areas. In the 

 bulrush marshes they were found only on and near the edges, never in 

 the interior sections. 



63. Melospiza georgiana. Swamp Sparrow. — A few were seen in 

 the bulrushes and tall weeds around the occasional marshy places in the 

 prairies. 



64. Pipilo erythrophthalmus alleni. White-eyed Towhee. — 

 A specimen taken in the sparsely timbered, scrub-palmetto and weedy 

 area on the side of, and touching, the East Goose Creek road about a mile 

 back, proved to be of this race, and I assume that most, if not all the 

 Towhees seen and heard during my visit were such. They were fairly 

 common. Lieut. Griscom includes the common Towhee in his list. 



65. Cardinalis cardinalis cardinalis. Cardinal. — Fairly common 

 in the dry land areas back of East Goose Creek. 



66. Iridoprocne bicolor. Tree Swallow. — Quite abundant. They 

 were seen at various times flying low, back and forth, over the bulrush 

 rnarshes; also, at times, at a greater elevation. 



67. Lanius lodovicianus ludovicianus. Loggerhead Shrike.— 

 Fairly common in the open areas of dry land sparsely dotted with pines 

 and stunted live oaks. Occasionally one visited the three or four pines 

 close to our house. 



68. Lanivireo solitarius solitarius. Blue-headed Vireo. — Only 

 one seen. It was in the low bushes on the sandy ridge a few feet back of 

 ordinary high water mark near the landing at East Goose Creek. 



69. Vermivora celata celata. Orange-crowned Warbler. — 

 Fairly numerous in the hammock lands. 



70. Dendroica coronata. Myrtle Warbler. — Met with in large 

 numbers wherever there were trees. 



71. Dendroica dominica dominica. Yellow-throated Warbler. 



— Fairly common in the hammock lands. 



72. Dendroica vigorsi. Pine Warbler.— Fairly common in the 

 hammock lands and in the pine land areas. 



73. Dendroica palmarum palmarum. Palm Warbler. — Com- 

 mon both in the pine and stunted live oak areas and in the scrubby bushes 

 on the sandy ridge at the East Goose Creek beach. 



74. Dendroica palmarum hypochrysea. Yellow Palm Warbler. 



— Common in the pine and stunted live oak areas; usually found on and 

 close to the ground. 



75. Geothlypis trichas ignota. Florida Yellow-throat. — The 

 only specimen taken was identified as one of this race. This handsome 

 little warbler was common in the country immediately back of East Goose 

 Creek where it frequented the damp areas grown up with rank weeds and 

 grass. I also found it in the scrubby bushes and palmettos on the edge of 

 the woodlands. A few were always seen in the saw grass around the pond
