Vol 'wi9 XVI ] Pangburn, Birds of Pinellas County, Fla. 401 



72. Coccyzus americanus americanus. Yellow-billed Cuckoo. 

 — One Yellow-billed Cuckoo was seen on April 26 but it may have arrived 

 considerably before that date as I had not previously been in a suitable 

 region for this bird. 



73. Ceryle alcyon alcyon. Belted Kingfisher. — Several King- 

 fishers could be seen in the course of a day along the shore, but though regu- 

 lar they were not abundant. 



' 74. Dryobates pubescens pubescens. Southern Downy Wood- 

 pecker. — While I encountered Downy Woodpeckers occasionally they 

 did not appear to be common at any time. 



75. Dryobates borealis. Red-cockaded Woodpecker. — Evidence 

 in the form of old nests led me to believe that all Woodpeckers have recently 

 been more common in Pinellas county than I found them. The Red- 

 cockaded Woodpecker could be seen regularly in a few localities but was 

 entirely missing from places equally favorable. 



76. Melanerpes erythrocephalus. Red-headed Woodpecker. — 

 Evidently a scarce bird at least at the season covered. I saw only two, 

 March 21 and April 26. 



77. Centurus carolinus. Red-bellied Woodpecker. — This species 

 with the exception of the following was the most abundant and evenly 

 distributed Woodpecker. They were quite frequent on the keys where 

 they nest in the trunks of the larger palmettos. 



78. Colaptes auratus auratus. Flicker. — The Flicker was com- 

 mon throughout the county both in the city and the pine woods. I saw 

 them only rarely on the keys. 



79. Antrostomus carolinensis. Chuck-will's-widow. — Rather 

 common from March 13 on. One or two could usually be heard singing at 

 any place around the edge of the city in the evening. 



80. Chordeiles virginianus chapmani. Florida Nighthawk. — 

 Unless C. V. virginianus occurs on this part of the West Coast during migra- 

 tion the Nighthawks I saw were of this subspecies. They did not appear 

 until April 19 and were abundant after that date. 



81. Chaetura pelagica. Chimney Swift. — Every day from March 24 

 to the end of my stay these birds were increasingly abundant. None seen 

 before that date. 



82. Archilochus colubris. Ruby-throated Hummingbird. — First 

 seen on February 21 on Long Key. Only two others were seen in spite 

 of the large quantities of flowering plants and trees. 



83. Tyrannus tyrannus. Kingbird. — Kingbirds appeared first 

 on April 28, the day before my departure. 



84. Myiarchus crinitus. Crested Flycatcher. — Common in the 

 pine woods and along the city streets after April 20. 



85. Sayornis phcebe. Phoebe. — I saw this species throughout my 

 stay but not in large numbers. 



86. Cyanocitta cristata florincola. Florida Blue Jay. — The 

 Blue Jay ranks next to the Mockingbird in point of abundance among the
