^"^ilio^"] Wood and Tinker, Rarer Birds of Michigan. 141 



was present from May 6 to 27, but was not at all common at any 

 time during the migration. Our fall records are very limited; the 

 only ones which w^e have been able to find are those of September 

 3, 1909, and August 23, 1908. 



Thryothorus ludovicianus. Carolina Wren. — Covert consid- 

 ered the Carolina Wren in this vicinity as a very rare straggler from 

 the south, and knew of but one record for the County — a female 

 taken in a store at Ann Arbor, December 14, 1890. As far as w^e 

 have been able to ascertain no further records were secured until 

 June 6, 1909, when a male in full song w^as noted, and on June 20 

 a nest with five young was found near Ann Arbor (Auk, XXVI, p. 

 434). In Cook's list the species is recorded from Lenawee County 

 (A. H. Boies), and Jerome Trombley is quoted as finding a nest in 

 Monroe County in 1892, so that it is not at all surprising that the 

 species should extend its range a little further north into this 

 county. Whether or not it will eventually establish itself here as a 

 permanent resident remains to be seen. 



Baeolophus bicolor. Tufted Titimouse. — In Cook's list, the 

 Tufted Titmouse is given as a regular w^inter resident at Ann Arbor 

 (on the authority of Steere), but Covert does not mention it in his 

 list of 1881. Although it may have been a regular winter resident 

 at the time when Steere wrote the above, it certainly is not so at 

 the present time. During the fall and winter of 1903, the species 

 appeared to be fairly common, as J. J. Ricks noted a flock at Portage 

 Lake, and it has been noted several times in the vicinity of Ann 

 Arbor on December 13, 1900, February 7, 21, and March 13, 1904. 

 On March 24, 1907, a single specimen was noted west of Ann Arbor. 

 A breeding record was secured for this locality on jNIay 24, 1908 

 (Auk, XXV, p. 322), and in the fall of the same year — October 25 

 — a pair was observed in the City.
