° 1019 J Pangburn, Birds of Pinellas County, Fla. 403 



99. Peucaea aestivalis aestivalis. Pine-woods Sparrow.— There 

 was one pine grove north of St. Petersburg where the Pine-woods Sparrow 

 could always be found, but on the whole it did not appear to be as common 

 as I had expected. 



100. Melospiza melodia melodia. Song Sparrow. — This region 

 seemed a little too far south for the Song Sparrow, and two seen on Febru- 

 ary 13 are the only ones noted. 



101. Melospiza georgiana. Swamp Sparrow. — Present in small 

 numbers in almost all suitable localities, particularly in the swamps about 

 Salt Lake. 



102. Pipilo erythrophthalmus erythrophthalmus. Towhee. — 

 Towhees were plentiful in suitable country being most abundant where the 

 Palmetto scrub was thick. I had a number of opportunities to examine 

 birds at very close range and did not see any that could be considered P. e. 

 alleni. 



103. Cardinalis cardinalis floridanus. Florida Cardinal. — One 

 of the commonest land birds both in the city yards and the country. 



104. Zamelodia ludoviciana. Rose-breasted Grosbeak. — A few 

 migratory birds, all males, were seen on April 28. This was probably the 

 day of their arrival although it seems very late. 



105. Passerina cyanea. Indigo Bunting. — Indigo Buntings were 

 common in a few restricted localities April 26 to 29, when I left the region. 



106. Passerina ciris. Painted Bunting. — A brightly plumaged 

 male was seen by Mr. Howard Hall in February. I have not the exact date. 



107. Piranga erythromelas. Scarlet Tanager. — This species 

 arrived from the tropics April 28. 



108. Progne subis subis. Purple Martin.— From February 28 

 to the time of my departure Purple Martins were constantly seen about 

 the city of St. Petersburg and the surrounding country. There are hardly 

 any martin houses, the result being that large numbers of them nest under 

 cornices of buildings and wharves. 



109. Hirundo erythrogastra. Barn Swallow. — I saw the first 

 Barn Swallow on April 19, after which it was an abimdant species. 



110. Iridoprocne bicolor. Tree Swallow. — Noted at Charleston, 

 S. C, on January 21, but not seen at St. Petersburg untd February 7. 

 Regularly observed after that date. 



111. Riparia riparia. Bank Swallow. — One Bank Swallow was 

 seen with other swallows about a small pond in St. Petersburg on April 10. 



112. Lanius ludovicianus ludovicianus. Loggerhead Shrike. — 

 This species probably stands third in point of abundance among land birds 

 throughout Pinellas county, being exceeded only by the Florida Blue Jay 

 and the Mockingbird. They live about close to the houses and seem to be 

 quite tame. For the most part their food consists of insects. I saw only 

 one bird with a mouse, and none with small birds as prey. Young fully 

 feathered and flying were seen with the parent birds during the last week 

 of March.
