402 Pangbtjrn, Birds of Pinellas Count)/, Fla. [j u " y 



land birds. They are everywhere and in the city nest in trees along the 

 streets and in the yards. There is a noticeable difference in the notes of 

 the Florida birds and those found in the North. 



87. Corvus ossifragus. Fish Crow. — All of the Crows which I 

 observed were small in size and had the characteristic call of the Fish Crow. 

 It would seem that C. b. pascmis (Florida Crow) must occur in the county 

 but I did not see any that I could certainly identify as being of that sub- 

 species. 



SS. Agelaius phceniceus floridanus. Florida Red-wing. — ■ Abun- 

 dant on both wet and dry keys and in every bog hole and swamp. 



89. Sturnella magna argutula. Southern Meadowlark. — I 

 found Meadowlarks abundant everywhere except in the thicker pine woods. 

 There is a decided difference in the song from that of S. m. magna. The 

 birds were also much tamer than any Meadowlarks I had previously en- 

 countered. 



90. Quiscalus quiscula aglseus. Florida Grackle. — A common 

 bird about the lawns of St. Petersburg. Not as abundant as the following 

 species, nor so often seen about the water front or the marshes. 



91. Megaquiscalus major major. Boat-tailed Grackle. — Com- 

 mon all along the water front and in the marshes around Salt Lake. A 

 favorite perching place was on the mast head of any convenient boat in 

 the yacht basin. 



92. Astragalinus tristis tristis. Goldfinch. — Two Goldfinches 

 seen on Pass-a-Grille Key on February 1 1 are my only record of this species. 



93. Pocecetes gramineus gramineus. Vesper Sparrow. — I saw 

 two Vesper Sparrows near Salt Lake on February 27. No other record. 



94. Passerculus sandwichensis savanna. Savannah Sparrow. — 

 A small number of Savannah Sparrows were near Salt Lake during Febru- 

 ary, but I did not find them anywhere else. 



95. Passerherbulus henslowi henslowi. Henslow's Sparrow. — 

 On February 1 and for a few days thereafter two Henslow's Sparrows were 

 present on a scrubby sand field euphemistically known as Bay View Park. 

 I did not see any elsewhere. 



96. Passerherbulus maritimus peninsulse. Scott's Seaside Spar- 

 row. — All of the region which I visited being south of Tarpon Springs I 

 suppose that the Seaside Sparrows, which were fairly common, were of 

 this subspecies, although some may have been P. m. fisheri. They were 

 decidedly different in appearance from the Seaside Sparrows with which 

 I had been familiar in the North. P. in. macgillivraii may also have been 

 among those present. This was a case where only a gun could give a 

 strictly accurate answer. 



97. Spizella passerina passerina. Chipping Sparrow. — One bird 

 seen on February 19 is my only record. 



98. Spizella pusilla pusilla. Field Sparrow. — A flock of half a 

 dozen Field Sparrows seen near Salt Lake on February 7 is my only record 

 of this species.
